PCT day 80 - mile 1747 to mile 1776
"Not everything which makes us feel better is good for us. Not everything which hurts may be bad. To regard states of distress in general as something that must be abolished is a supreme idiocy, in general sense, a real disaster in it's consequences, almost as stupid as a will to abolish bad weather." Nietzsche A good, long day I pushed few more miles than originally planned to split the difference to the next resupply point near Crater Lake. Weather was near perfect and the trail was not too steep so everything was flowing well. At around 11am I hit an unexpected trail magic with Roy from Portland, he was following his friend down the trail, and set up his van next to a quiet road PCT was cutting through. I spend fifteen minutes talking to him as he also used to work as a stage hand in theatre, eventually becoming an electrician. I might meet him again as he will be following his other friend in couple of weeks who is doing PCT southbound starting at the Canadian border....
