This one didn't feel like quite the same victory after skipping 40 miles to get here. Only 300 miles to the Sierras though!
Good morning from the trail

It's predicted be a balmy 38° today. I'm starting early to get ahead of the heat. Shady siestas may be in order

When your only plan is to avoid hiking in the heat and you don't plan where to sleep. Scrubby area next to the road it is!
Big hill, much food

ViaggiatoreThat looks amazing! It must be wonderful to come across this type of kindness as you travel through. The oranges 🍊 look wonderful!
ViaggiatoreThe trail angel looking after this spot stopped by to refill the water tanks while we were there. He brought all the snacks and cold drinks with him. Such a treat after a very sad lunch today 😆
ViaggiatoreMildly tragic, I'm just tired of this particular meal. It won't be in the next resupply haha
Trail angel Abel

Today, he offered to take us backLeggi altro
