Long Lunch

Super late start today. About half way through DB and I stopped for lunch and the time got away from me… and so did most of my food for the rest the section… not good. After 2 hours of eating and reading (furiously trying to finish my book so I can send it home before going into the sierras. I don’t need any additional weight when I go in there) I started packing up to start hiking again. Before I was able to get my pack on a hiker I’ve seen before approached me asking for a charging cable for his dead phone so he could call his wife and let her know his plans for the upcoming days. Of course I would take any opportunity to continue reading so I let him borrow mine. Another two hours later (four hours for lunch) DB and I started walking again.

I saw a dead mole sticking out of its hole. Sad face.

I also saw some cows!

Plus, a few miles before camp we passed mile 600 yay!

At the last reliable spring for a while DB and I decided to have dinner. We were supposed to hike another few miles to catch up to AH and P but there was a fire pit and it was cold so we decided to stay put for the night. With a fire going and me in my tent I was able to call my parentals and significant human and fall asleep ready to head out in the morning.
