Harts Pass to Holman Pass
Pacific Crest Trail in Washington state
Good thing I had that
nap on our zero day! Last night was loud in the campground until
hiker-2AM (ie 11 PM). Folks were driving in after dark, making stinky
campfires (ugh I hate campfires because they burn my throat and make my eyes red and puffy), and talking late into the night.
Really, nothing more than you’d expect at a campground. Only Jan and I
are on hiker time- meaning waking at dawn (5:30) and going to sleep at
dusk (or earlier!). 
Today our packs were heavy with 5 days of
food but I felt so refreshed after a full zero day and was full of
energy. And ready to see what this last section of my PCT hike has in
store!

We could see many of the peaks we’d identified on
yesterday's visit to Slate Peak lookout. And we could see the lookout
tower several times as we wound around on PCT-grade trails below.
We
set up camp at a large campsite where we figured other hikers would
join us but couldn’t find a smaller site. And sure enough three people
are set up nearby. Hopefully they wont stay up too late!
