PCT Trail Journal: Campo to Hauser Creek (miles 0 to 15.1) Overview
Day 1 was magic!
It started with a wonderful chill morning with my significant other and delicious breakfast. My stomach was feeling weird. Almost like I was nervous but then it felt better after eating.
We drove the hour to Campo and after the desert/farming section it got gorgeous. It was mountainous with huge boulder piles. There were trees and so many flowers. We both loved the drive. There were wildflowers blooming everywhere. There was a huge field covered. It was gorgeous.
We arrived at the border just before 11. There were a lot of other people there and a PCTA volunteer. She checked my permit and told me there was a lot of water but may want to pick up snow gear at Paradise Valley Cafe. I got my PCT badge and sticker. I love the little badge.
I walked about 4 miles and didn’t see anyone. The hiking was so nice. There were great views and the weather was perfect. This desert area is so different than other deserts I have been in. The vegetation is different and there are a lot of plants I don’t know.
There are desert lilacs blooming everywhere. In some areas it was blue everywhere. I loved it. Gorgeous!
I kept thinking how lucky I am and I love it. This is going to be fun.
There is water everywhere but no wet crossings yet. Most of them are not marked on Farout.
So Many Gorgeous New Plants to Look At!
There were a ton of other flowers blooming as well. The lupines are different here. They are more pinkish and the leaves are hairier. The succelents are pretty cool too. I think they are chicks and hens. They love growing on rocks. Amazing!
There are huge amazing yuccas blooming. They have purple edges on the flowers. So pretty. I turned a corner and saw one and totally gasped.
At one point I came around a bend and there was this beautiful farming valley. The grass was super green and the hillsides were covered in lilacs. I loved it. The scenary has been fantastic. It is totally not what I expected at all.
At around 6 miles (2 hours in) I ran out of water in my bladder (2 liters). I was getting hungry and stopped at the next water source for lunch.
Around 10 miles in, I was starting to drag and wanted to camp but on the way down to Hause Creek there were no spots.
I got to Hauser Creek and it was packed. I got a crappy slanted site and didn’t go past the river to look for another site. But I got a site!
I got my camp set up quickly and was hungry. I made some Mac n Cheese with the pizza flavoring and olive oil. I love those olive oil packets. They taste really good.
Overall it was a superb day of hiking! I’m so lucky to get to do this trail.
Trail Self-Reflection
✨3 Things I’m Grateful For
1. My sun umbrella! I really like it.
2. The perfect weather.
3. Having a great morning with my significant other. It was a really nice goodbye.
✨3 Things I’m Excited About
1. Getting this whole thru-hiking thing figured out.
2. Getting to Lake Morena for some food.
3. A shorter day tomorrow (potentially).
🌟How Was Today? Did I enjoy it?
It was a good day with good energy. I felt very excited on the trail and like this is a good decision. I am going to enjoy this. I was tired the last 5 miles and wish I didn’t have to hike all. But I survived!
⛺How Was My Gear?
Excellent! I really like my sun gloves. I just like wearing them and feel protected. The sun umbrella is really nice. I need to figure out how to get it attached better. I ended up holding it most of the time. The Sawyer Squeeze adapter and Cnoc bag seem pretty good.
💪How did my Body Feel?
Around 6 miles middle right back started pinching. Then by mile 10 my right neck and shoulder were killing me. The normal spot that always hurts. On the way down to Hauser Creek my left hip started pinching. Not too bad though. My feet were pretty rough by the time I got to camp. I have some blisters and hot spots. Nothing too bad. The blisters are on the callused spots. So those will just get more callused.
🍴How was my food situation?
Good! I had a cheese and sausage sandwich with my Mom’s cookies for lunch. Then Mac n Cheese for dinner.
🤔What did I learn and how will I take action?
I did not attach my umbrella correctly to my bag and need to figure that out. I may ask someone who has something similar.

Why was the geocacher always so good at hide and seek? Because they were experts at finding “hidden treasures”!
Why did the geocacher bring a magnifying glass to the cache site? Because they wanted to be sure they didn’t miss any “micro” clues!
One other issue issue is that video games are normally serious anyway with the major focus on knowing things rather than entertainment. Although, there is an entertainment element to keep your kids engaged, each game is usually designed to work with a specific set of skills or program, such as math concepts or science. Thanks for your publication.

Throughout this awesome design of things you get an A+ for hard work. Where you lost us ended up being on the specifics. You know, they say, details make or break the argument.. And that couldn’t be more true right here. Having said that, allow me inform you exactly what did deliver the results. Your text is pretty engaging and this is possibly why I am making an effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, despite the fact that I can certainly see a jumps in reasoning you come up with, I am definitely not confident of just how you appear to connect your ideas which inturn produce your final result. For right now I will subscribe to your issue however hope in the future you actually link the facts better.
I am continually browsing online for ideas that can help me. Thx!

Thank you sharing these types of wonderful threads. In addition, the perfect travel plus medical insurance approach can often eliminate those worries that come with touring abroad. Any medical crisis can before long become very expensive and that’s certain to quickly slam a financial stress on the family finances. Setting up in place the perfect travel insurance bundle prior to setting off is worth the time and effort. Thanks a lot
Today, with the fast life-style that everyone leads, credit cards have a huge demand in the economy. Persons throughout every arena are using the credit card and people who are not using the credit cards have made up their minds to apply for one in particular. Thanks for revealing your ideas in credit cards.
Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that type of information in such an ideal way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m on the look for such information.
I needed to write you a very small note so as to thank you so much as before considering the awesome thoughts you’ve contributed at this time. It has been so wonderfully generous of people like you to make unhampered exactly what a number of us could have advertised as an e book to help make some cash for themselves, mostly seeing that you could possibly have tried it in the event you wanted. Those tactics as well served to provide a easy way to be certain that most people have similar dream just like my own to learn lots more on the subject of this issue. I think there are lots of more fun opportunities in the future for many who read carefully your blog.
