Day 16
Mile 140-151
Woke up early and started hiking at 6:30 AM to catch this beautiful sunrise
After I finally found a signal I booked a room at the Idyllwild inn and raced up the mountain to get there in time. Along the way I found another water cache.
I reached the highway and headed for the paradise valley cafe. Famous for the best burger along the pct, I didn’t hesitate to get me one.
Found a ride here from a guy who was going up and down the mountain for 5$ each, which was a pretty sweet deal. With 3 other hikers we got in and I couldn’t wait to finally get to a shower and have a fresh pair of clothes.
Smelling like roses I headed out to explore the town and yet again found so much support for pct hikers. Everyone smiled and wanted to know our stories. I stumbled upon a movie theater that was showing one film, captain america: civil war.
Hell yeah. Without thinking twice I walked in, stocked up on sweets and sat down in one of the seats. Awesome to do something normal for a night. One slight oversight, the legspace. Not being able to stretch my legs after days of hiking is extremely uncomfortable. But still I was watching Tony Stark kick some Captain America ass, who cares about sore muscles. It was back to the hotelroom after that, hung up my tent to dry it out
