I have my Linux laptop from my bounce box and spent a bunch of time updating this site.    It is nice to have a decent computer rather than my hokey phone / kindle combo.   One of the problems that comes with this is that I have to deal with the post office.

First day was laundry, food, drying, and posting.   I’m in a crappy spot for a hiker b/c businesses are all scattered around this area.   Probably should have stayed at the hostel.   Snagged some leftovers from a hiker box and bought various cravings.   Katie S. posted on facebook that I don’t have enough protein in my diet, so I added a Slim Jim 🙂

Today (as I’m writing this) is finding some fuel for my stove and bouncing my laptop ahead.  I feeling I need one more recovery day on the muscles.   Was chatting with Joe (brother-in-law / PCT hiker wannabe) and mentioned that my plan is to get sick of being here.   As of this morning I think I have succeeded.   

Found a dude to drive me around today and drop me on the trail tomorrow at 6am.    Another 100 miler to Wrightwood and water is going to be a little hard to find.   Back to packing 4+ liters again.
