- 1341.3. 2 bars. #
- Spending more time laying in the shade than hiking. #
- Still meeting northbounders. #
- Hitching in to Chester. So far not one car has been by. #
- Mile 1334. 3-4 bars. #
- The only other time I've been to Chester, I got there on a bus because of a fire closure. #
- "Piper's Mom" left a message at the trailhead offering rides. I might try her after awhile. #
- Pieper's Mom was busy fixing breakfast for a hiker but sounds like someone is coming. #
- I should have gone in last night. But didn't want the hassle of hitching in, resupplying, and hitching out that late. #
- I should have sent more to drakesbad than I did. #
- Breakfast in town. #
- The barefoot thing is not working for me. #
- Neither is the no caffine rule. #
- I'd like a dose of caffine, some music, and some shoes. #
- Shoes and music are coming to Echo Lake……I picked up some instant coffee in town. #
- How far I have fallen. #
- "Piper's Mom" gave me a ride back to the trail. #
- She was bringing another hiker back to the trail. A young man who started 3.5 months ago. #
- Among his possisions was, I kid you not, a big rock. #
- He says someone gave it to him and he doesn't mind the weight. #

I’m glad you got to meet my mom. She was excited to meet you. I guess I told her I liked reading your blog and wished I had a hermit cabin like yours, or a tiny house.
Met her again today at Sierra City! She was here celebrating her birthday.
