Douner pass today

Jul 5, 2021

Walked up a place called tinkers knob in r something like that on the way to it there was no one else but other pct-ers. At the top and on the way back down was FULL of day hikers. Nothing against them but you know. Got some trail magic once I got close to the trailhead/parking lot. Also got more in the parking lot. Day hikers love giving out trail magic. And I love them.


The parking lot is close to where the douner party did the thing (I asked Casey how to spell douner while typing this and she’s laughing at how I spelled it so it must be right).

There’s a douner ski ranch and a bunch of other douner themed stuff in the area. Thought it was a little messed up cause those people ate each other to live and here we are making t shirts with their name yikes 😬

Well the douner ski ranch gives out a 40 oz beer to thru hikers. Casey and I got ours and they were steel reserve!!! Yikes they are like 8% n we drank one and gave the other one away.


Made it only a few more miles after the reserve before making camp and sleeping 😴 goodnight

We also camped near a rest stop, I try to pack out the trash I find on trail but there was too much there I left it. Boom humble brag

Thing of the day:

Totd saw myself in the mirror standing sideways with a shirt on was shocked. Not a unhealthy shock but a shock
