Rogers Peak Camping: Day 1

I feel rejuvenated after feeling slightly depressed that backpacking season is over (for me). I’m a fair weather backpacker. Sleeping in the Pilot was a lot warmer than in a tent. Didn’t sleep great but still getting used to it. I explored a new road and enjoyed the sun and blue sky. Legitimately warm outside, so nice. After hiking, I got brave and drove up into the mountains to a new area.

nostr:npub18demqw842mta00c9rhycdkn834l3sryhr52heqlu908y0usqnj2q4faw9s I’m just learning about this but there is a controversial theory in the geology world that the granite shifted from Baja California some 50 million years ago or something like that when the west coast was underwater.

Mount Jefferson Backpacking: Wrap

Here are some more photos. Woke up Sunday morning to the smell of smoke, which is concerning when you don’t have internet and don’t know if it is from far away or a new fire nearby. I really enjoyed my adventure exploring off-trail, I can’t wait to do some more. May be able to do that in the Enchantments this coming weekend, if rain and smoke hold off a bit more. 🤞🏼

I made it as far as I feel comfortable going alone with no experience mountain climbing. 8,300 feet. More photos of my trip tomorrow afternoon most likely. Heading back down.

nostr:npub1xgjeqmsgcutmf952u66c2xp32gx5q57m94qmqte9tnzaj3uax3nq8rqmqm Definitely, Not going to attempt a full summit. Conditions on the PCT vary. Most is dirt single track but it can be rocky or rooty in places and it does get gnarly and dangerous in spots. I wear boots but thru hikers commonly use trail runners. This trail up the mountain probably isn’t much of an actual trail but I have the GPS track.

nostr:npub1hdkgxqy9nqgmuhj6vcsqjpupsr2mgs5tz96dz5zmuy3lpaukk8lque26hc That’s definitely ultralight! Lately, my inflatable has lost most of the air by morning so i’m basically sleeping on my Z-lite at this point. I guess that’s one way to get used to using a thinner pad.

nostr:npub1cqhmpg3rv38atgp9vy5j7kevdsepjwf3gr4c8576szzypn25sjeqv24rf7 That’s fair! I used to watch CNN a lot but got jaded with how they treat their commentators as rational actors when they are clearly just lying. I figured you might have some pushback on my comment. :) I agree there are legitimate news outlets. I guess I shouldn’t treat TV entertainment as news.
