5 Miles
Not a lot of sleep last night as it was too hot. I was up before my alarm, which was set for 4:30. Everyone in camp was getting up around the same time. By headlamp we started down to the highway. About 2 miles in the sun had risen enough to see normally. We passed the 1500 mile marker along the way and eventually made it to the on ramp where the bus picks up. Sisyphus and Hermit and about 10 others joined us. We all piled into the bus when it arrived, instantly filling the bus with a wonderful aroma. Getting into Dunsmuir around 7:30 meant waiting around for an hour before anything opened. There are very few options here and we probably should have gone further up to Shasta City instead, but we can make it work. After a couple laps of walking around the main downtown area, The Wheelhouse opened an we got breakfast. Afterward, we picked up our resupply food from IGA and Dollar General, then got beers from Yaks to kill time until we could check into our room. Lunch was from the Burger Barn, which was delicious. We got milkshakes too. A smallish dinner was later picked up from Pizza Factory, but that was a meatball sub and garlic bread.
