Me and the sheriff’s department had a nice breakfast at the Red Kettle.
Bought new toe socks and shoe insoles at the outfitter.
Shipped heavy camp shoes, knee brace, camera mount, and a few other items home from the Post Office.
Resupplied at the local grocery store.
Took care of town chores: back flushed water filter, washed water bottles, washed spork and food cozy, prepared food bag, cleaned out tent, prepped backpack for leaving town tomorrow.
Brad scored us a ride to trail at 7:30 tomorrow morning with a trail angel.
Uploaded 3 days worth of blogs. Still need to write today’s blog which will be more blog-like than trail journal.
Spent a few hours figuring out a reasonable plan for the next four days. Had to balance water, miles, elevation, camp sites, and arrive it White Water on Saturday. The next two days are going to be challenging.
Had a nice dinner at the Brew Pub then had a drink with Natalie, Jacob, PD, and Niaal at the pizza place. They are zeroing tomorrow. We should cross paths around Cabazon / White Water in 2 or 3 days.
I think that the next 4 days are going to be very hard.
Side note…I was bummed to learn that David Allan Coe died last week. One of the last country art is from the 1970s Outlaw Genre. I remember where I was on my AT thru-hike when Kristoffer Kristofferson died. Only Willie is left now.
