That's not really thru hiking? You could have stayed and waited or tried to make it.

I took some days off?? Basically a bunch of zeros at one time. I only took two zero days in 700 miles, while others took more than mine and my break combined. Many people did the same thing and waited it out. I don't honk you understand the snow conditions up there. I head back tomorrow and I'm still completing in the same season? You can think however you'd like. But what I don't understand is why you come on my page and say these things. You can easily stop coming on here. Kindness is cool, have a nice night.

You're giving up on the pct?

Heck nah!!!! I'm taking a little time off before entering the sierras because I have no snow experience and it's pretty dangerous right now. A lot of people are doing the same! I'll be back out there! :) the safe enter date starts June 15. I'll be back there before then though!

I think I might delete my tumblr and twitter accounts? I have only really been using Instagram and Facebook out here on the trail... Maybe it's time to shed a few social media accounts

DAY 11: Today was probably one of the toughest yet. 20 miles of steep downhill in the desert heat. But the view of Jacinto and the desert below made it worth the pain. #pct #pct2016

[mountainmoron]

DAY 10: Yesterday was beyond beautiful, but so intense. Thunderstorms, hail, 10,000ft elevation, snow, and night hiking. But it was such an adventure. I updated my trail journal about it all! Link in bio!!#pct2016

DAY 9: Had a short day and hiked 8 miles to Paradise Cafe where we had breakfast and hitched to Idyllwild WHERE WE FOUND A HEALTH FOOD PLACE WITH FRESH JUICE AND SMOOTHIES AND DATE SHAKES AND WHEATGRASS SHOTS AND VEGAN GOODIES My body misses these things. We are so excited! Tots mom brought us a vegan feast basically, and got a cabin on air bnb. Couldn't be happier. Back on the trail tomorrow with our bodies rested and our bellies happy.

DAY 8: (24.4 miles!) Haven't had service in a while, but Tater Tot and I have been hiking together for the past couple days! We are both the same age, plant based and hike the same speed! We have been kickin' butt together, for real. We will be in Idyllwild by tomorrow! Super excited. I'll be posting in my trail journal about my day! Check it out, link in bio! #pacificcresttrail #pct #pct2016

DAY 7: Woke up in the rain this morning. Joined the party at the Warner springs community center and stuffed myself with free fruit. Also got my first resupply! (Sad I didn't put any exciting surprises in there but still yay!) gonna have a short day today. Next town is Idyllwild in about 70 miles! #pacificcresttrail #pct2016 #pct #thruhike (at Warner Community Resource Center)

DAY 5: Got breakfast and free apple cider in Julian this morning and had a short day! Currently at mile 88 in the San Felipe Mountains! 11 miles and now I'm letting my feet get some air at a lovely spot where I'll see the best sunset and sunrise! Today has been beyond beautiful. Tomorrow will be a 21 mile day to get my first resupply at Warner Springs if I can actually wake up early enough! #pct #pacificcresttrail #pct2016 #thruhike

DAY 4: Mile 77 Hiked 26 miles today!!! Made it to Julian! I have been feeling so amazing and energized. This picture sure looks pretty but I have been stuck in a gnarly wind storm since yesterday. The craziest wind I have ever experienced. And now I am all cozy in a room in Julian. A super kind guy gave us a hitch and bought me a hotel room! I know I won't be this lucky the whole trail but I'm sure happy right now. After such a long day, plus it's raining and freezing outside! gonna take it easy tomorrow (Maybe). Check out the link in my bio I'll update soon! (at Julian, California)

DAY 4 (pt 2): The happiness of finding water on the trail... ?

[mountainmoron]

DAY 3: ITS. SO. WINDY. Today I felt really great!! Going to bed early to hopefully wake up at 3am to head to Scissors Crossing to get a hitch to Julian! Can I pull a 26 mile day for day 4? Stay tuned!! (Link in bio for trail journal!) #pct #pct2016 #pacificcresttrail #backpacking #ultralightbackpacking #travel #getoutside #hikertrash #hike

DAY 2: After 22 miles, a late start, cooking in the sun, 3000ft elevation gain, and basically running to get to Mt. Laguna in time to get to the restaurant before 8, I finally got my vegan chili! I destroyed it. Barely day two and I have genuinely experienced true hiker hunger.... Mt. Laguna, mile 42! #pct2016 #pacificcresttrail #pct #backpacking #hikertrash #travel #longdistancebackpacking #vegan #veganliving #plantpowered (at Pine House Cafe & Tavern Mt Laguna)
