I heard people warning the PCT hikers that it would get to near 100s in the Seiad\u00a0Valley.\u00a0I passed the Kidder Creek Valley which was gorgeous with endless streams and wildflowers.\u00a0The next day, I decided to hike in the evening to descend 4,000 feet into the Seiad Valley and the next day early morning to ascend 4,000 feet back up. By 9am on July 2nd, it was very hot, especially when going through the burned forest with no shade. In addition, there were so many down trees on the trail. I decided to count to make it fun and as a way to practice mindfulness. Then I made it to the border of California and Oregon on the full moon day! As soon as I entered Oregon, I noticed the down trees were cut for the hikers to pass the trail and I so appreciated after going over, under and around 864 down trees between Etna and the border! I\u2019m very much looking forward to hiking the Oregon section of the PCT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mihoaida.com\/pct\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image_40041759-1.jpg?resize=700%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-616\" style=\"width:700px;height:576px\" width=\"700\" height=\"576\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shooting stars, one of my favorite wildflowers in the mountain meadows right after snow melts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mihoaida.com\/pct\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image_40041759-2.jpg?resize=700%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-617\" style=\"width:700px;height:576px\" width=\"700\" height=\"576\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mihoaida.com\/pct\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image_123927839-9.jpg?resize=700%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-619\" style=\"width:700px;height:1024px\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Near Kidder Creek.

For two trail angels provided me with sparkling water after the 4,000 feet ascent on the hot day! For my friend\u2019s sister who just moved to Ashland for hosting me. It\u2019s lovely to have a place to rest and cook fresh vegetables. For trail angels who gave me a ride into Ashland as well as a ride in town as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best learning: do your daily tick check! After arriving to Ashland, I found a tick deeply buried on my side above my hip. I had to go in to the urgent care to get it removed. This is my first time that I had to get help from medical professionals to get the tick out after being an outdoor professional for over 3 decades. It is rare but it happens! I\u2019m so grateful that my host was able to take me to the care facility and I got help I needed right away. I was so relieved that I still have the health insurance. Thanks NatureBridge for continuing my benefits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Challenges: crawling over, under and walking around 864 down trees between Etna and the Oregon border. Down trees are dangerous because it creates slip and fall or scrapes situations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mihoaida.com\/pct\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image_6487327-7.jpg?resize=699%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-615\" style=\"width:699px;height:576px\" width=\"699\" height=\"576\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mihoaida.com\/pct\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image_123927839-10.jpg?w=700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-625\" style=\"width:700px\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mihoaida.com\/pct\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image_123927839-10-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mihoaida.com\/pct\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image_123927839-10-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mihoaida.com\/pct\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image_123927839-10-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Down trees on the trail.
