Day 134 9/26 25mi.

The morning started by walking along 2 miles of the old PCT route which was a bit over grown, but passed through an old growth forest filled with massive trees that were probably 6 or 700 years old. We finished the old route by crossing an even bigger river over a log about 6 or 7 feet above the water. It was the gnarliest log crossing of the trip by far!

After lunch we hiked almost non stop for 5 hours and put in about 15 miles before getting into camp just after dark. Along the way we got some great views of a deep gorge that the creek we were walking along formed. I also saw a Pine Marten just before dark, it's kind of a mix between a weasel and a squirrel. We caught a pretty spectacular sunset through the trees as well.
