PCT Hike, MM 2343 - 2360, Urich Cabin

Saturday: (08/16) Up at 0600, on trail 0715. Started with a climb up the rolling trail until just before the end of the day.
Met NB hikers Bigfoot, Wolfman and a SB older couple of section hikers Zombie and La Contessa. I stopped at the Urich Cabin at Government Meadow. Hikers can stay there, and it was tempting but didn't match my schedule. I needed do some five more miles. I met Gray Eagle an older hiker there. He's had both knees replaced in about four years ago. He was struggling deciding if he was going to stay there. Gray Eagle made it the extra five miles as well. We were joined by three other hikers. Two were through hikers, without trail names, from Vancouver, BC. Nice campsite by a spring at MM 2360. 17 miles today.

The Urich Cabin was built by a snowmobile club. Government Meadow is a snow park in winter. Probably a warming hut. In summer and fall hikers use it.

For some reason I thought about a mountain golf game?
