Today was a get to Patagonia Town Day! We rolled into town at 4:00 pm, checked into the lovely Stage Stop Inn, ate, shopped, and showered. It was a very fine day.

5:00 am start allowed us to sit and enjoy the sun rise over the distant mountains
Early morning views
Crafted cattle gates
Reminds me of scenes from movies set in Africa
The gates are so cool – cattle country

    I’m so happy they’ve been working steadily ext year to replace rancher hates with these fancy ones. Sure makes it easier for hikers, bikers and equestrians.

  2. This hike looks really fun so far. So tell us about how you are finding/obtaining water? Maybe that was in the initial post but I’ve got to go back to that when I’ve got more time to pour over the details. Go!Rockin’!Go!

    Those gates are fancy! So much more than the PCT pipe gates. So glad that you’re getting this great weather and views.
