Hotrod being unmotivated

It felt so good to walk today. As someone else wrote in a register in the Peter Grubb Hut: "a much needed day of hiking after a night at Pooh Corner." we stayed there two nights. Although they are really nice people with a gorgeous house, I really didn't want to stay. It just felt really tense all the time and we were always thinking they were pissed at us for some reason. Plus we really need to walk faster if we're going to make it to Canada before too long. We're already hearing that we're late and behind schedule. Unfortunately for everyone behind, we are not the slow hikers. The snow has just pushed everybody back.

Anyway, walking felt great. We hiked with a huge group it felt like - me, Chilidog, Boots and Bubs, Snowblind, Sparrow, and we ran into Jimbrick, Nicole and Chris, and Tum Tum. I thought it thinned out in NoCal.

The terrain is getting a lot less extreme. Our elevation profiles (they tell you what the elevation will look like each mile) is starting to look a lot more like rolling ripples rather than cresting waves or worse, a line on a heart monitor.

A lot more snow today, but we heard from about five people that the last twenty miles into Sierra City are snow free. Looking forward to tomorrow! Hope they have our package!
