Day 13 - Mile 183 to 193 - Mel

April 26

We were up and ready at 7am. Liz got us a ride with Scott's, another trail angel. 

He dropped us off at the Deer Spring Trailhead. It was 4 grueling miles uphill. 

We hooked up with the PCT at mile 183. We've missed part of trail but not a full 32 miles since there was a fire detour on that section. 

No rain today and plenty of sunshine. But we found out the yesterdays rain dumped snow in the mountains. It was probably only an inch or two, but it was enough to make hiking a challenge. It was melting as was the snow and ice in the trees. It was like it was raining all over again, but with ice chunks falling too. And then the fog rolled in. It was beautiful though. 

Finally made it out of the fog and after some more climbing we started going down. Found a small campsite around 7pm and cowboy camped.
