We hit the halfway point today!
We left late (almost 9) and leapfrogged with the Canadians (Lighthouse, Chewie, and Broken Record), Headbanger and Jimbrick all day.
It was a lot of forested ridgewalking today. We hit a little patch of snow which threw people off, but it wasn't much.
Lunch was at the halfway point. The marker was really anticlimactic - just a post with an arrow for Mexico and one for Canada that had the same number of miles each way (1325 - but it's off by Halfmile's maps).
It's nice to know we've done most of the trail. Although we've still got so much California to go. Like 370 miles or something. Crazy.
Then into Chester for a resupply and milkshake and finally back out to the trail. It was a quick stop, but the town was really nice and friendly and the hitching was easy. People around here are nice.
Then 3.3 more miles to this beautiful campsite, next to a gushing spring. Although there's a road here, which I don't like. Creeps me out. Anyone could drive up.
We traded our Vonnegut book for another book of short stories, Sudden Fiction. It's got tons of well known authors in it, and most of the stories are three pages or less. Some of the stories are really good.
