Today I am headed back onto the pct. I took 3 consecutive rest days because I had not taken a break in 3 weeks of hiking. I have covered approximately 300 miles and have another 700 or so left. This next section is my longest leg, at over 100 miles before my next food stop at Timberline lodge on Mt. Hood.
Taking time off was really relaxing. I got my quota of good food and cheap beer. I got to resupply, see family, and sleep in.
I weighed my backpack- I have 4 liters of water and about 30,000 calories of food (5 days at 6,000 calories a day) and it weighs a little more than 60 pounds! I had been thinking it was about 40, but it's actually quite a bit more than that!
