6 Miles
Mainly downhill and only a few miles to the highway, we made quick work to get to the Echo Summit trailhead. Tortoise and Vaper were with us and Vaper had already contacted a trail angel for a ride into town. We hung out in the shade while we waited for our ride to arrive. She was actually one of the volunteers at the information center we passed through yesterday, so a familiar face of sorts. She drove us to town, showed us all of the amenities, and then dropped us off. We headed to The Brewery for beers and food before we made our way to the post office for our bounce box. Grabbed our resupply at Safeway and took the bus to the hostel. Checked in at the Mellow Mountain Hostel, showered, and then went to dinner. Stuffed with pizza, Dr. Pepper, and salad at Blue Dog. Back to the room to restock and reset from the bounce box. Feels nice to have a shave and cut my hair.
