This is our last day hiking with Janelle and Nathan. We made really good time getting into Bailey by 2:30 pm. Once again, the mountain bikers on the trail sent us scrambling for cover. We know that they're just as entitled to the trail as we are, it would just be nice if they'd give a little warning before leaving tire treads on your pack. Janelle tried to adopt another random trail dog today (I think that she attracts them, we didn't see any lost dogs on the PCT). We named him Creampuff, which is indicative of his disposition and what was going on between his ears. Janelle fed him a pack of peanut butter crackers (she didn't seem to want them!) and he followed us for several miles. We were getting a little concerned about what we'd do with him when we lost him at a trail head. Today was the first day Nathan's knees really started acting up, so we fed him some vitamin I(buprofen) and he was all better! I love that stuff!
Before Nathan and Janelle left from Bailey, I stole Janelle's inflatable Thermarest. I just can't handle the closed cell foam. I'm such a wimp.
Today we hiked 12 miles with Janelle and Nathan, then Brent and I did another 4.5 into Lost Creek Wilderness.
