Embrace the weird vibes

A morning with zero miles to hike is weird. This is only my 3rd zero of the trip. I don’t like them. I woke up at 6:00 and couldn’t fall back asleep. All of the crew except Jack rabbit and I headed out for the day.

They planned to split the hike to Tehachapi between two days. A very normal decision. Jack rabbit and I are doing it mostly for fun. There isn’t any benefit to the challenge except to take on a challenge and see what you can do!

I relaxed during the day, got a resupply for one day of hiking, and chatted with hikers. Around noon we found out the pacific crest trail trek Instagram page wanted us to take over for the day! Sweet!

I would have happily done the challenge without it. But an audience of 100k people will make it even more fun.

Jack rabbit and I planned for tomorrow then I tried to sleep early. At 8:30 I was laying in my bag… I needed to wake up in 4 hours and I wasn’t even tired. Hopefully I can sleep at least 2 good hours tonight, it’s going to be a long day tomorrow.

Onward to Techachapi!!
