Hitchhiking to Mission Beach

I met up with McTaf and Mixo last night for a short while. I'm so very glad I got to meet up with them while I was here.

This morning, I met up with Dribbles, the Stray tour guide, who walked me and some others over to the train station to begin our southbound journey. I jumped off in Tully and walked about 800 meters (about 8 American football fields with end zones) to the outdoor bus terminal. But the bus to Mission Beach doesn't come until 18:00. I really don't want to sit here that long, so I chained my big bag and food bag to a bolted down metal bench and walked to a nearby backpacker hostel. No ride shares, but the very lovely lady gave me a sheet of bright yellow card stock and a heavy black marker. So, now I'm in the side of the road trying to hitch a lift to Mission Beach. Fingers crossed!

So long [for now] and thanks for all the fish. ✌️

P.S.: I was too busy, so the selfie is at the hostel. My sign worked in only 5 minutes! Shout out to a very nice fitter man Shannon!!Read more
