Wind, Stink, and Doubt | Florida Trail Day 4

Day 4 on the Florida Trail hit different. I pushed through 23 long miles from Clewiston, across road and levee, under a relentless sun and headwind. My body was exhausted. My motivation? Slipping. This is the kind of day that makes you wonder if you're really cut out for thruhiking, or if the PCT dream is just that. The trail didn’t offer much relief: sun, wind, the air reeking of sugar processing, and not even the cool black ducks I spotted would stick around for a cameo. Still, I’m here, camped out on another levee, doing what I can to push forward. 🎵 Music: “God’s Children” – The Kinks #FloridaTrail #ThruHiking #BackpackingVlog #PCTTraining #Day4 #SoloHiker #HikingFlorida #WindVersusSoul #LeveeLifeCrisis #SunBakedTrash #SwampBuggy #WhyDoYouSmellLikeThat #23MilesNoRegrets #SugarStinksButSoDoI
