The Walk

VVR Haiku

Tired and hungry
Hamilton and bonfires
The vortex is real

We didn’t plan to zero at VVR. We were going to get back on trail and catch up with the crew in Mammoth. But then today happened.

A bunch of friends and hikers were sitting around the campfire in the afternoon and we decided to stay. Plus it was our only night to hang with Dr. Pinky and Dr. Buckets. They gave Quest some PT advice and stretching homework.

We all had a fun night and I wish they were going northbound so we could see them again! But that’s often the way a thruhike goes. You learn to appreciate the moments you spend with people.
