PCT Day 31: Grass Mtn & Sawmill Mtn

Daily Miles: 20.2, Total Miles: 498.8

The morning tradition at the Anderson’s is a pancake breakfast. Joe served me the first two off the griddle since I was first up. The other tradition is a photo of the departing hikers which includes a big surprise. I wouldn’t be giving anything away by saying it involves Terry Anderson and the luna(r) cycle.

Terry gave Spoons, Brooke (now Peanut Butter Platypus). Splits, Two Step and myself a ride out to the TH and gave everyone a big, departing hug.

I climbed up Grass Mountain and down another water cache provided by the Anderson’s. Another water spot at an underground tank attracted several hikers.

Another climb up Sawmill Mountain and I camped right on top – I can now see down to Antelope Valley and the Tehachapi Mountains.

After nearly 200 miles of going in a westerly direction, we are finally turning north once again.
