I heard a coyote houl this morning, it was the first time that I heard one on this trip. It seemed to be a lonely one and no one answered. In the foothills near where I live we can hear them very often, but it usually is a chorus.
I left shortly after 7 am this morning, hoping that I would get close to Kennedy Meadows. Weather forecast had a chance of rain and it was looking like it.
The landscape continued to be very scenic.
I found a unique PCT trail marker
And I saw a tree with the thickest bark I have ever seen:
The area around the trail became dryer yet and soon I hiked through an area which had burned not too long ago with lots of downed trees.
Tiny flowers
And the first cactus
There were two bridges to cross the Kern river (which was a very small creek at this time of year).
I did manage to reach the Kennedy Meadows campground, this was my longest daily distance so far on this trip.
Yesterday I decided to end the hike at Walker pass and Susi will meet me there on Saturday. Yeah!
Tomorrow at the Kennedy Meadows store I will only need supplies for two more days and no more bear can. I will send all the extra stuff home by mail and look forward to two days with a really light pack.
