I left Tuolumne Meadows this morning around 10:30am. Hiking alone was different. Don't know how many times I wanted to comment to Liz about something. I think because of my odd departure time I did not see any PCT hikers today. I passed some people going to Glen Aulin and some southbound hikers, so I had some people to talk to. Fortunately I have enough Dodge blood in me to appreciate the solitude.
Hiking was pretty easy. Most of the trail was level. My back felt a little better after a day and a half off. I stopped at Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp to eat my lunch. Started climbing a little after that.
Finally found a place to camp around 7:30pm. Decided to try cowboy camping my first night. I don't think I could have gotten my tent stakes into the ground if I wanted to, plus I didn't have the energy.
I actually got in 18 miles which I wasn't expecting.
