May 7. Started a bit earlier – on trail at 6.30am. My daily planning mainly follows the daily updated water report. For today, this meant either 15 miles or 21 for wet (nearby water) camping. We had about 2000 feet altitude gain ahead of us – and I had not been feeling too well the last two days. Good thing on the trail – don’t worry now about things that don’t matter right now. So I started hiking without knowing whether I will do a 20+ miles day or stay with a moderate 15 miles.
The day turned out beautifully! The altitude and the trees – the heat from the last two days was gone!
Song of today: Pink Floyd – Coming back to life
Lunch time was tortilla time again…
Around mile 253, we came along the famous sofa on the trail. Not further trail magic though – sodas were gone.
Arrived 630pm at a campsite mile 256 – 21 miles today!
Great day. But it’s time for a town stop. I am really filthy now. My shirt and pants are stuff from sweat, salt, dust and dirt.
The world is big 
Florian – what an incredible journey you’re having so far! I have caught up now on your daily blog. Thank you for sharing your inspirational hike so far. And the kindness of strangers…magical. Relieved the rattlesnakes are staying clear of you I’m cheering you on from Seattle!
