Day 76: au revoir California
Another beautiful sunrise this morning – that’s the advantage of starting early every day. We find the first hour of walking is always really enjoyable in the early morning light.
The terrain was not too bad but it was quite warm during the day. We met several hikers including one guy who today was finishing the one section that he couldn’t do when through- hiking last year due to fire closure.
Our target today was to reach the California / Oregon border, which we did at about 6:15pm after hiking 25 miles. So far we have done about 1000 miles in California and will come back to do the remaining 700 miles last after finishing Oregon (309 miles more to do) and Washington (about 500 miles).
OG surprised us with a reward of an orange and chocolate bar for reaching Oregon. A nice finish to our dinner of two minute noodles.
“Morning has broken like the first morning…….praise with elation, praise every morning, God’s re-creation of the new day!”
I love the quizzical look on the deer’s face!
What a wonderful candid photo of the deer…..really gorgeous……lots of wildflowers too…….
Looking forward to to your Over the Border adventures now…..
