PCT: Day 80

The trail today is going to be mostly uphill. We reach the top of the initial climb around lunch and stop for lunch with big views of Owen’s Valley several thousand feet below us. We’ve been getting flyovers from military fighter jets most of the morning and have a couple come by straight overhead close enough to see the pilots. We talked to another hiker who saw the pilot wave on the way over. They definitely interfere with feeling like we’re in the wilderness but are still pretty cool to see up close. We end the day with a final steep climb to a campsite on a ridge near spring.
