As I leave the lakes and deserts of Oregon behind I also leave a trail of destruction. The blood and deaths of 10,000 mosquitoes stains my soul. Yet, strangely, I feel no remorse. :) Ha ha, ok enough kidding around.
We finally got to California today! Woot! Made a big mileage day as well, logging in 26.4 mi! We celebrated our crossing into California in style - I had a Budweiser, Arij had a Snickers. Ran into another northbound thru hiker today, named "Odie." He had made it thru the Sierras!
Unfortunately, we find ourselves among cows again in California. In fact, there's a herd just ~ 200 yards away from our camp for the night. They're all armed with cowbells too - so much for a 'wilderness experience.'
Just 28 mi to our resupply!

Seeing all those damn cows in the Sierra ALMOST made me give up In N Out.

You have no idea how deep one's hatred of cows can get until you have had one or more crap on your head at 4AM. Of course in Winter you actually grow to look forward to such warmth. The first time is always the hardest.
ReplyDeleteHope things are well, and good to see you guys are still alive. Oh, and guys, for your WOW fix of the month - both races now can play Paladin AND Shaman, come Burning Crusade.

Keep up the writing; I feel like I'm right there, smellin' it up with you guys! It's late here and I've been filling out application crap for grad school, so I'm short-winded. I'm off to sleep in the backyard, where I will think of you two while I enjoy the meteor showers. Sounds like an epoch trip, I'd love to throw/attend a welcome home party in the fall!
