Eating, Resupply, more eating.   The mobile phone service here sucks.   Found a spot to make a couple of calls but that was it.   We will be leaving here at 6:15 tomorrow to get on the trail.  

Another hellish climb awaits us out of town.  4k ascent.   Weather in the area will be in the mid 90’s most of the week, so if we can get up to 6k before that hits, it should be ok.    Figure it will be high 70’s at that altitude.

Had Dinner with Old School last night.   He is an interesting character.   Last few years he has been driving an RV from Argentina up to the US.   Now he wants to sell it and get a sailboat.   He’s getting off the trail for a few days to see his Mom and was having a hard time spending the $100 on a hotel stay to wait for Amtrak tomorrow morning.   Soho is trying to figure out how he’ll afford a 60 foot sailboat if he can’t bring himself to drop Benjamin on a room.    Maybe he will put some floaties on his RV….

Next leg will end at the suckie location of Etna.    I heard the mobile service sucks even worse there.    Maybe we can find an overnighter at hotel on the interwebs.    Otherwise, it will be Seiad Valley.   I’ll update soon as I can.  

Big debate going on as to the mileage goals.   I figure we will try to take down a couple 25-30’s after we finish the climb tomorrow.   Should pop back out in a week or so.
