Mile 200.5 to 209.5. – 9.6 miles total hiked<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this day was mostly to get down to the I-10 freeway. All downhill but whole bunch of switchbacks and varied rocky and Sandy trails. That all made it somewhat annoying descent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did pass a more official 200 mile marker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last water fill up I would need for the day was this faucet in the middle of the desert. It was a good opportunity to take a break and fill up with just enough water to get me to the freeway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I got on level ground, it was mostly just a walk across a paved road, a flood basin, and somehow hard to follow trail markers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end came in to view I saw the bridges that formed the underpass for the PCT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once there I had completed the entire PCT California section B!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

209.5 miles finished!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After relaxing a little bit, I picked up my Reese supply packages and found a hotel to stay at for a zero day. That would allow me to take some showers, sit in a hot tub, wash my clothes, and sort and clean my gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
