He Cant Hit My Curve!

May 30

Just when you think you have the trail figured out, it throws you for a loop. After two solid days, we planned a 3rd day of "taking it easy" i.e. 16 miles. We planned to make it to a promising campground at a big recreational lake with all the amenities, sounds great right? Try 101 degree heat and no clouds or trees to block it. 16 miles felt like 30. And what do we find... Memorial Day Hell! I think this is where South-Central comes for vacation. Culture shock! You never know what the PCT will throw at you, but there are bigger issues with that fact upcoming...

We are getting to camp on grass tonight, which is a first, should be nice. And we devoured 10 hot dogs and 8 buns from the small store here with a matter of 15 minutes for dinner tonight. I ate two ice cream sandwiched on the walk back. You can't tell me nothin'!

On deck for tomorrow: 20 miles of the same heat, but we understand there is a Mickey D's a miles off the trail at 14 miles mark. I predict a scene. Fact.
