Day 14

Day 14

Thin Mint May 18th, 2021
Thin Mint's 2021 PCT Thru-Hike

2 weeks on trail and I do not have my trail legs yet. We get a ride to the trailhead from local trail angel grumpy and avoid 1.5 walk up hill. My bag is the heaviest it's been with 5 days of food and the 2.5 straiget up hill incline sucks. I am moving at a snail's pace. My calves are really tight from the inclines yesterday. Once I hit the trail it's still slow moving. More tough miles. After the up and down miles we begin this massive descent that's abour 20 miles downhill. Most of that is with no water source so pack is heavier with 4.5 liters of water. I am slow moving with all this weight. Worse part of my day is when I roll my ankle. This was a bad one. I roll my ankles alot , but this one hurt more than normal and took longer to walk off. About 3 miles before my expected camp I come across a major campsite with trail magic. I had an orange soda, an orange, and a hot dog. Probably should have eaten out of my food bag, oh well. Also forrest and boujey (Rachel) already had their tents set up. I was psyched for the earlier stop. My ankle still hurts. Hoping it's better in the morning. Caught up with some other hikers too. Shit kicker, crusher, herb, and Katie.
