Day 14 on the PCT

Burrrrrr, chilly morning at 8902 ft. On the trail by 8 am with a goal of 10 miles or more. Hiked past a trail crew removing fallen root balls, hard work. A mule train lead by handsome "cowboys" passed us on their way to resupply and assist the trail crew. We come across less water sources and the trail is dusty. Points of interest included large basalt volcanic cones rising up through the granite rock, quite spectacular. We set up camp (9123 ft) along side a seasonal stream and enjoy a very cold wash down. I had my fleece jacket and down jacket on with a beanie, gloves, silk long johns, socks just to warm up. Must say clean hair feels so good! In bed by 7:15 pm, still cold!
