19 Miles
Around 1:30 we awoke to music and singing and light being shown in our tent. Admittedly, we had camped only a couple feet off the trail. Getting to camp late and forgetting to set an alarm, we overslept a bit. We needed to do 19 to the road where we could then roadwalk a bit to the general store. We took short breaks along the way and got out a bit early. We leapfrogged a few times with Endless & QB, finally at the river. The two miles after the 700 mile marker and the road flew by. A trail angel was taxiing hikers to the store and Grumpys, but we declined her offer multiple times. The general store was full of hikers. Some hanging out, some eating from the BBQ spot, and others packing/unpacking boxes and backpacks. We celebrated with cold root beer and iced tea, burgers, and beers. Right as we were finishing our drinks, my mom, Keri, and Helaina arrived to pick us up. Mom gave me a big hug and we piled into the rental car to drive down to the AirBnB in Ridgecrest.
