13 Miles
We got around in the morning and eventually made the drive up to Triple Crown Outfitters around 9:45. Before we left Melania, offered us a ride for when we get to our next resupply stop. A huge favor to ask of anyone, but she seemed up for it. That will be a huge help to us. At the outfitter, we got to talk to Yogi, the owner, who wrote a guidebook for the PCT. Very nice and knowledgeable, she was truly a hiker trying to help other hikers while running a store. We got repacked and then drove over to the trailhead to start hiking again. Mom, Keri, and Helaina joined us for a couple miles and then turned around back to the car. It was nice to spend time with them and get to show them a small portion of the trail before we had to continue on our journey. We knocked out the next 11 miles, stopping for water one time. When we came back from getting water we ran into Studio 54, which was surprising. We thought he was far ahead of us. He and his tramily were heading just a bit further than us. We had the whole camp area to ourselves so we tried to pick the most wind-protected spot. It’s much colder already!
