Miles Hiked: 8.5
Gratitude of the Day: I’m thankful for my friend Heidi. She is a fellow travel nurse and has been a huge help when I have questions about RV life and travel nursing contracts. As a matter of fact, she’s a huge reason I’m financially able to do the trail this year and not next. She was the one who told me about the state contracts in California that pay crazy money and I was able to obtain one of those jobs, which then led me to day hike a small portion of the PCT in Southern California and think to check the website for permits. So I’m basically on trail this year because of her.
Today was a quick 8.5 mile walk thru a huge wind farm, we looked it up and supposedly there’s close to 3400 wind turbines in this Tehachapi wind farm. And quick couple hours later and we had reached highway 58 and there’s were trail angels giving rides into town from the Cameron Rd overpass, soon I was sitting at the local German bakery eating a cinnamon roll, drinking a coffee and of course a cold Coca Cola. We have a room at the local Best Western and plan to take a zero tomorrow while we resupply for the final push out of the last 140 miles of the desert and into Kennedy Meadows.
We spent the rest of the day doing some shopping, drinking beer and eating at the local pizza place. Then it was a late night of laughing and drinking at the hotel.
