A trail angel in Julian told me my 20 mile day plan was 'a young man's game' and I can't stop thinking about it
I was sitting on a bench outside the store in Julian at mile 77 of the PCT last month and this older guy with a knee brace asked where I was headed, and when I said I was pushing 20 miles a day for the next stretch he just laughed and said 'that's a young man's game, wait til your knees file a complaint,' and now I'm wondering if I should be cutting my daily mileage or if he was just messing with me, anyone else get unsolicited route advice that actually stuck?
