PCT: Lava Camp to Obsidian Falls w/Hannah

August 13, 2023 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 60s-high 70s

Comments:
Solid outing with fatigued legs.

Kept it super-chill, permits-in-hand, from Lava Camp all the way to Obsidian. This is a great section. Not much vertical (long climb to Scott Pass, and up/over Yapoah), but it's hella-technical at many points.

Ran and hiked easy to Obsidian, stopped for a snack there, then ran back. Took the Mathieu bypass and jumped into both South and North Mathieu Lakes. Felt good :-)

Rest of the day:

• more pancakes
• another nap (w/a modest amount of "petting")
• dinner in Bend

Solid weekend and the end of an important week.

The future with Hannah is uncertain. Or dubious. Issues:

• Distance. Just can't do it. Not this early.
• "Values". I can't go completely a-sexual. Like, not even "second base"? Jeez. I won't wait for "marriage"
• Religion. I except the Mormonisn will be a rock block we eventually crash into...

...but she's been a good, positive experience...
