The first little bit of rain caused the trees to drip for hours and wet the plants on the ground just enough to continuously subject us to water. It was not a big deal since the temperature was moderate, but it is just something we haven\u2019t had to deal with on this trail. You could theoretically never see rain the entire trail, though we did a number of times in the beginning. Many hikers aren\u2019t carrying a tent, or just a tent without a rain fly, but that is their loss.<\/p><p>We passed through forest the entire day today, with only a couple of the briefest views. Not that we could see anything with the low clouds.<\/p><p>There were berries throughout the day, and we paused several times to raid a good looking bush.

There was a good grade to it, but the PCT still found a way to draw it out over 9 miles somehow.<\/p><p>As we climbed, we rose into the clouds where there was perpetual rain from the clouds condensing on the trees it was blowing past. All the plants were wet, and many were reaching into the trail enough to transfer their water to us as we brushed past. However, the cloud in the vibrant green forest was scenic enough to let me forgive.<\/p><p>We got to camp still in the perpetual cloud rain and set up near a stream.
