Great start to the day. Made it to walker pass by 1:30pm. 17 miles!
Stuck out a thumb and got a ride into Onyx from Greg. He was so nice! He took me to the post office, waited for me in the parking lot, and then drove me to the general store!
But… I made the classic mistake of leaving gear in a hitch… An untimely departure of my trusty umbrella.
Fun fact, shoes only last about 500-600 miles. Props to Merrel for sending me a new pair! To my first pair, I say “Thank you for Campo to Walker Pass. I will always treasure the memories from our time together.”
After waiting out the heat of the day, hitched back to trail via Adam.
Quite soon I encountered some hikers REALLY concerned about the Lake Isabbella fire that was only 40 miles away from the trail. But I decided to push on anyway, because instead of looking for reasons to quit, I look for reasons to keep going. If the fire isn’t an apparent danger right now, I’m not going to wait around for it to become one.
