Spent 4 hours trying to fix a water crossing on the Pacific Crest Trail
Had a creek crossing near the Sierra section that kept flooding my maps. Turned out the GPS track was from 2018 and the trail rerouted 2 miles north. Anyone else get burned by outdated route data on popular trails?

Pulled a muscle trying to lift a 50-pound pack up a stream bank.

Heard a physio say never lift anything heavy like that without bracing your core first, but easier said than done when you're off balance. Hope it heals quick, back muscles are a pain.

lol for real, the "brace your core" thing sounds so simple until you're already halfway through a weird lift. I did the same thing last year trying to move a couch by myself - felt like a champ for about 2 seconds, then my back said "nope" for a week. Hope you heal up soon too, man.
