Turns out 20 hikers showed up last night not 10. Badass, Tank, Real time, Stomper another Canadian, and I all hiked out early in the morning planning in making it to at least sulphur spring if not further.
Stomper had already hiked the PCT twice and said he remembers the next hill being worse than baden-powell. It wasn't. I think the last time he did it he had hiked out after baden-powell in b the same day.
After we got off the hill our first detour of the day occurred. This one was to protect some endangered frogs. There were two options, a 20 mile hike that was reportedly in really bad shape since the trails it followed were never designed to have the amount of traffic the PCT was sending over them or a 3 mile road walk along the "dangerous" highway 2. I didn't find out how dangerous it was cause I got a hitch as soon as I reached the road.
The hike today was only difficult due to the heat. Luckily for me I got trail magic twice today. Unluckily for the trail angle someone stole his bear can with the trail magic in it. Tank was grabbing a coke out of the can when someone asked him if it was his, Tank said no so the guy took the can. Later on at a different tail magic stash there was a note asking if anyone had seen his can. The rest of the hike was uneventful but we were starting to reach the area where the poodle dog brush was reportedly really bad. We ended up staying at sulphur spring even though we all felt we could keep going just to avoid the brush at twilight.
