The Walk

In the middle of the night I woke up to someone getting water at the stream. What the hell. It was 3 am! I tried to go to sleep but heard their stove pop on. During the next hour they boiled water 3 times. My god. I nodded off and on, and didn’t get back asleep until they took off at 4:30.

I woke up with sunrise and packed up. The miles went by quickly. I passed a fish hatchery and saw a pelican swooping out of the water. I couldn’t believe how big the beak was!

I cruised into Burney around 10am and a lady in a van was sitting 100 feet away. It’s worth a shot to get a quick ride to town. As I got closer I realized it was Need to Feed. The lady who gave us trail magic yesterday! Amazing.

She took me to the local church that hosts hikers and showed me around. They had a hiker box, showers, and free coffee. It was an oasis for hikers. At least 15 hikers were there.

I did town chores then met up with the crew for breakfast. The rest of the day involved eating lots of food and watching movies at a cabin. A fun birthday for Gushers.
