The lack of motivation kept me in the tent pretty long this morning. Didn’t leave camp until 7:15 even though I wanted to get some miles in today. But since there was nobody waiting or anyone I could feel guilty against for being late I just kept on snoozing.
It was still weird to walk alone. But the motivation was big to just get to South Lake Tahoe. So I started hiking fast again. Passed lakes and more ridges:
Before I decided to make this the Day of the Flowers. I have passed these amazing wild flower meadows during the last days quite frequently but never took the time to capture them properly. A massive variety. And this is only an excerpt!
Apparently I moved through an old glacial river bed all day as a geologist who I met on the trail told me. It was great scenery again!
Since I was hiking by myself the voices were pretty strong today. Walking was definitely only the second priority or respectively focus. A lot of thoughts of the after-trail-life. Not that they haven’t been there before but today they were loud again. Let’s see where this will lead to. I definitely miss my hiking partner… 😔
Met Amber and Nick on the way which we know from former hiking days. Camped together and will probably also roll into town together.

Hey … the life “after”, there will also come something very good for you, I am sure… because it is always and everywhere about your own balance and about your ability to float …and about connections to people… you do not need to hike for that, even this is wonderful … and I get to see all these beautiful pictures 😊
That’s true. All part of the journey 😉
I am so curious myself. Let’s wait and see. She’ll be right, brew! 🇳🇿
