Day 110

After the extended version update of yesterday, I don't really have much to report today. The hike from Pilot Rock to where I'm camping tonight--Klum Landing Campground on Howard Prairie Lake--seemed to lack personality. In fact, most of the trail was historically an afterthought. The original Oregon Skyline Trail, which much of the current PCT follows, didn't stretch all the way to the border because the terrain wasn't considered all that great for hiking. So it seems like it was added more for the sake of getting the hiker from California to Crater Lake. Thankfully, most of it is fairly level with a handful of notable exceptions. Tomorrow's hike will likely be much like today's hike so I may take an alternate route...not sure yet.

Had another spike in donations today! My total is up $500 to just shy of $8000 now thanks to some of the Lodge Boys (college buddies) and Angela. Thanks for the support!
