Day 5 ~ Scissors Crossing to Barrel Spring ~ Miles 77.3 to 101.something
100 miles on the PCT....CHECK
Other noteworthy happenings of the day:
-We both hiked the longest day in the history of our lives...24.something miles.
-Water was very scarce, which is why we hiked 24 miles. We were reliant upon a water cache that was crucial. Thank you to the wonderfully dedicated trail angels that keep the Scissors Crossing and Third Gate water caches stocked, and all other caches too!! And we finally drank water from a real spring today....that was a first on this trip.
-We were reunited with a friend that was a ridgerunner on the AT with Moonshine--Thor, and his lady, Ferntoe. We were very happy to see them and got to catch up for a few hours.
-We also were reunited with an acquaintance that we met on the AT in 2006-ish, Otto. We camped next to him and had a good time talkin' about the Appalachian Trail. It's a small trail world!
-We're super stoked to be going to town tomorrow!!
