Some of you may be wondering what a typical day is for us as we continue our hike on the Pacific Crest Trail so we thought (we have a lot of time to think...) we'd let you'll know:
5:30-6:00 am: Wake up with the birds!
6:00-7:00 am: Eat a calorie-loaded pre-breakfast snack (like oatmeal cream pies) and head out of camp.
7:00-8:30 am: Hike.
8:30-9:00 am: Eat breakfast, typically granola and vanilla protein powder).
9:00-11:00 am: Hike.
11:00 am: Eat another snack, like a protein bar.
11:00am-12:30pm: Hike on!
12:30-1:00 pm: Eat lunch, usually consisting of peanut butter, nutella and some sort of bread/tortilla.
1:00-4:00 pm: If its hot, like really hot, this is siesta time under some shade. If it is not hot, we continue our journey.
4:00 pm: That's right, its snack time again!
4:00-5:30 pm: Hike.
5:30-6:00 pm: Cook dinner. Currenty favorites are cous-cous, parmesan cheese and tobasco sauce; mashed potatoes and cheese; and stuffed pasta.
6:00 -7:30 pm: If we are really motivated, we continued hiking. This typically happens when it has been a reallly hot day and we want to hike in the cooler evening air. In the last week though, it has been so cold (high of 50's during the day, and 20's and 30's at night) here that we have not taken siestas and stopped hiking by 6:00pm.
7:30-8:00 pm: Stretching & yoga. Don't forget--one more snack before bed!
8:00 pm: Hiker midnight--its time for bed!
