Day 80 – 23 mi – PCT mile 1638

Start: tentsite at 1615

End: tentsite at mile 1638

Miles covered: 23

PCT mile marker: 1638/2652

Highlight: More hillside flowers. (Honorable mention: My healthiest trail meal so far–tuna, avocado, and spinach on a tortilla.)

Biggest challenge: Increasingly smoky air. The smoke comes and goes, depending on wind patterns and elevation, but most of the time the air quality is poor.
