PCT Day 39: Zero Day in Lake Isabella

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 651.4

The usual trail town routine – clean gear, go to the post office, talk to family, wash clothes and eat.

Took the long walk to Nelda’s Diner for dinner, 2-page menu for milkshakes alone. Had a Windjammer with my chili burger – a combination of cherry vanilla, Butterfinger, chocolate and crunch. Well worth the walk and highly recommended!

On the way back to the motel, I dropped into the grocery store to get breakfast items for tomorrow before attempting the difficult hitch back to the TH. I ran into 5-Star who I hadn’t seen for about 12 days. His parents are giving him a ride back to the TH tomorrow and will swing by and pick me up. What a stroke of luck!
