Today is a new day. After the brutal hike yesterday we all woke up a little tired and stiff. However, knowing that todays milage would be easier, we had a cup of hot tea and a Probar and were on the trail by 6:45. Peeler Lake this morning was beautiful. It was as smooth as glass.
Our early morning walk through the dew covered Kerrick Meadows was sooo peaceful. We found a spring near the trail and filled our water bladders before beginning our climb up and over Buckeye Pass. (This seemed to be our pattern this trip, adding weight to our packs before every climb?) After yesterdays passes, Buckeye seemed like a little bump in the landscape. I love meadows and today we got to walk by, through and around several of them.
I was in heaven. Strolling through waist high grass and plenty of opportunities for wildflower photos. Just dreamy!!!
Today we rejoin the PCT and continue our journey along the West Fork of the Walker River. Todays 18 miles came and went. We got to camp at Walker Meadows in time to take a bath by the river and wash our clothes.
We are feeling much better about today. We all have a meal together, a little hot chocolate and it was "Lights Out".
