Callahans - 1721.2 mi to Campo

Pretty crazy day yesterday. We got a semi-late start - I didn't get up until 7:15, but we cooked breakfast and broke camp in record time, hitting the trail by 8:15!

We hiked a lot on BLM & private land - jeep roads, trails with cows, etc. etc. Arij got bit by a wasp when she tried to open a gate at Hwy 66! It put a serious damper on her day. We had hoped to camp at a spring at 1728 mi, just outside Siskiyou, but had two problems arise. First, we were on private land! Second, the spring had dried up! So we pressed onward. We ditched our packs just off trail and decided to go to Callahan's for dinner.
Turns out, Callahan's also offers lodging (guide book neglects to note that!) we opted to stay there, a nice treat. Dinner was amazing. Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, real meat, good beer... it was fantastic. I devoured just about everything in sight.

The room was great as well. Shower (not coin-op woot!), king sized bed, jacuzzi tub, robes. It was heavenly. It was amazingly restful, just lying on that bed. Breakfast was included with the room, so we stayed for that too. Fantastic. We should enter California tomorrow! Woo hoo!
