We hit Walker Pass campground today, which was unremarkable except for two things:
- Trail magic <3
- End of the driest stretch of the PCT!
There's still desert ahead, plus a dry stretch in northern California, but this one is over!
Pretty sunsets, with Joshua trees
Also, we hit sticks hundred today, too!
