Day 21: Three weeks on trail
From the Whitewater Preservation Area, one of the most relaxing campgrounds we’ve been so far. A prelude to a couple of pretty tough days because the dreaded crossing of Mission Creek awaits us: the trail was swept away last year by Hurricane Hillary, and what remains is the bed of a huge river – the creek of the name – and we’ll have to make up the trail. Even the PCTA, the association that manages and safeguards the trail, has advised against hiking through Mission Creek because of the absence of the trail itself. Nothing particularly dangerous, but the risk of getting lost is concrete. An additional problem will be finding suitable places to camp in the evening. Will we make it? We have to, one way or another 💪🏻
