Not A Walk

Tehachapi Haiku
A break from the wind
Waffles and recharge with Gramps
Birthdays in the park.

I woke up feeling stiff but not too sore. Much better than I expected after a 50 mile day.s Gramps made waffles for breakfast. I topped them with strawberries, butter, syrup, and whipped cream.

After a few hours on the couch he took me to the post office to pick up new sunglasses. I ordered prescription sunglasses the week before I left and they were ready! Thank goodness because I needed them before the sierras. The sunlight bouncing off the snow burns eyes!

Gramps dropped off Jack rabbit and I at Walmart. We resupplied and walked to the hotel. The hotel didn’t allow early check-in so we had two hours to burn.

I walked to a park and met up with Fanny snacks and Maggie for her birthday. They were hanging out with two hikers from Austria who I hadn’t met. It was one of their birthdays too, a double birthday! We had nachos, listened to music, and relaxed in the sunshine.

I stopped by a German market for a sandwich, then went back to hotel to relax. I’ll be back on trail tomorrow for a 90 mile walk to Ridgecrest.
