Day 69: 1000 miles
We had spectacular views from our campsite last night and enjoyed a good sleep despite the cold temperatures. It is hard to get out of our warm sleeping bags when the air is so cold but we still managed to be on the trail before 6am.
The whole day we were hiking above 6000 ft and the air remained cool and pleasant as long as we kept moving.
It was time to celebrate midmorning when we passed 1000 miles on the PCT (that is 1000 miles we have hiked altogether in different sections from our calculations).

The photo above shows earth tunnels built by rodents under the snow. After the snow melts the tunnels are exposed.
The early start meant that we had already hiked 14+ miles before lunch and we were able to have a few breaks in the afternoon and chat to other thru hikers we met or passed as we walked.
We camped at 6pm having done 25 miles – another pretty campsite with wildflowers and a view over a lake.
Dont stop the commentary, love every moment. You are both absolutely amazing.
1000 miles, well done. Lveolyscerny again. What an inspiration to be up and on the trail by 6 am, very impressive.
Congratulations on the 1000 miles, what an achievement. Photos are fabulous as usual, I will have a celebratory glass of wine tonight to celebrate your milestone even though it is dry July
Top ( landscape) photo is stunning, and I really love those pale mauve flowers.
Congratulations on the diversity of excellent photos.
