Day 87
I didn't know it then, but unfortunately this was my last day on the PCT.
I limped into Stevens Pass on my last Ibuprofen and when it wore off, i realised that my knee was far worse than i thought.
I did a resupply in the Safeway in Leavenworth and nearly didn't make it back to the hotel because my legs kept buckeling under me.
So i had to face the truth: it was not safe to start another section.

I stayed in Leavenworth for 4 days and then decided to get on a bus to Seattle.
The knee very slowly starts getting a tiny bit better but i still cannot stand or walk for a longer time and stairs or uneven ground is difficult.

So this is suddenly the end of my hike.
To be honest, it was very difficult to wrap my head around it. But then I had a good cry and and decided to fly home, see my doctor and hopefully will be able to have another adventure this summer.

And hopefully I will get another shot at a thruhike in the future. :)
