DAY 21, Fri., May 16, 15 mi.day. TOTAL 384

Talked to Shirley this morning. I told her that I would probably be out of cell phone range for a couple of days. We're enjoying talking to each other so this stretch of "no cell" will be more difficult.

This part of the PCT includes the Mt. Baden-Powell Spur Trail - elevation 9,245 ft - named for Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts. The summit marks the end of the Scout-built Silver Moccasin National Recreation Trail. Scouts often hike the Silver trail to earn their hiking merit badge.

Got some great pictures. Will get them posted when Shirley gets here next week. Plan to camp at Little Jimmy Campground tonight.
Keep hiking,
Greybeard
