Day 113

Miles hiked: 0 trail miles - maybe around 5 Reno miles 🤪
Campsite: circus circus 🎪
Weather: cloudy and 60s
One day to describe the day: trippy

This morning we woke up at 3:30 to catch a 5:45am flight. I had dejavou checking in at the same place I did at the very start of the trip. And since Mel and I are parting ways I feel like I am starting all over again! It's very strange. But I'm very excited for the sierra section of the trail.

When I got into Reno I slightly adjusted my plans to avoid some of this hurricane that is passing through the sierra. I decided to stay in Reno for the night and take the Amtrak to Truckee in the morning. Hotels are cheaper in Reno and the Amtrak is only 9 bucks! Mel and I got some tasty Mexican food and booked a night at circus circus. Wow what a culture shock! I was going to do a little gambling but decided not too because the tables all had high minimum bets. No poor people tables to be found!

I was scrolling Facebook and noticed a post from a hiker saying the buses to Chester were fully booked and was looking to connect with other people who needed to go there. Which is where Mel needed to go. We called and the hiker was crocket, a hiker we had been with in the desert. And he happened to be in the same hotel we were at, right around the corner. Small world. Anyways, they got a plan figured out!

I'm ready to get on the trail but want to avoid the hurricane and inches of rain that are forecasted. I'm just gonna keep an eye on the weather and make a game time decision tomorrow if I am going to get on the trail tomorrow. Czytaj więcej
