7/20/18 - Day 12 - Mazama Village to Stream North of Devil’s Peak

Daily Miles: 22.7
Total Miles This Hike: 216.8
PCT Miles Covered: 1918.1

So, I realize I am now about 2 weeks behind on this blog, so in the interest of catching up as much as I can, I will try to post a quick synopsis and pictures from each day and move onto the next day in rapid fire, so that hopefully I can catch up and be able to add more info on subsequent posts.

This was my first 20 mile day of the year, and it was a long one without water for most of it.  When I left Mazama Village it was 20.3 miles until the next water source so I had to carry 5 liters of water out.  In addition about 8 miles of it was a heavily burned area with no shade and hot sun.  Camped with 1 other section hiker going northbound, but was able to have some good conversation that night with him, including giving him a heads up on the mosquito situation to the north.  My camping spot had an outstanding view of Devil’s Peak, which I would climb very steeply up the next morning.





Keep on keeping on,

Patch
