I woke up not feeling great with a little bit of chills and queasiness. This was a bummer because it’s not the first time this has happened right before we head back to trail. We didn’t even eat anything too crazy this time in town. Lots of veggies and fruits and we didn’t even get ice cream!
I thought maybe breakfast would help so we went to the bagel place down the street to grab something. We brought bagels back to eat in bed. I got an iced coffee but barely made a dent in it. We had taken it easy this morning so we had to scramble a bit to get showers in and all packed up before 11.
We decided we would take the bus to the farthest point and then try to hitch a ride to the trail. It worked out perfectly. We had to wait less than 10 minutes for someone to stop for us. A very nice woman who works in town at the Grizzly and her daughter were headed to the next town over to get pedicures on their day off and graciously dropped us on their way.
Hiking started around 12:45 but it wasn’t too hot out so we didn’t need to take long breaks. Camp was only 9 miles in, we are trying to do some actual nero’s this round. We were in camp before 5. There were a lot of hikers hanging around when we got to the spot but almost everyone moved along rather than spend the night.
