Thru Hiker - Pacific Crest Trail, Sky Lakes Wilderness, Oregon

            This thru hiker, named Solo, started in Mexico and is hiking to Canada. I think he was at a point in his hike where he was becoming just a little discouraged - bored by the last couple hundred miles of forest. But he's hanging in there. 

He said he saw his first bear near Etna, California. He was trying to get to Crater Lake National Park as quickly as possible.

I did a trail run with Ringo yesterday on the Pacific Crest Trail. It was a point to point from Four Mile Lake in Sky Lakes Wilderness along the Twin Ponds Trail to the Pacific Crest Trail with the final destination being Summit Trailhead on Highway  140. The distance was 11 miles. I did the same run last year in the opposite direction - we saw a bear that day. No bears yesterday - also more downhill than uphill doing it the direction we did yesterday. I love running on trails.
