Day 38Miles: 23
Total Miles: 609
Some really nice hiking today! I woke up at about 6:30 and watched as others walked by me having hiked three miles already before I got out of my tent. I enjoy a coffee and hot breakfast - what can I say! I had to hand wash some clothes using a Tide single sink wash packet. I then hiked out with damp, but clean, underwear!
The trail took me through some really nice forested areas - a great contrast from yesterdays dry hiking. Others saw a small bear about a mile from where I was sleeping this morning - just a juvenile they believe. When I reached the road at mile 602, Glitter Boy (Macho Taco's brother who had quit the hike due to an injury) gave some great trail angeling - he had a cooler with gatorade and soda! Soda is an amazing thing after several days of sucking down just warm water from your platypus. I am not a big soda drinker so it surprises me that I dream of a cold coke on the trail quite often.
The last seven miles were quite peaceful through the woods to Lander's Meadow. I camped here with Tortuga, Macho Taco, Bronco and others.
