DAY 20 - ZERO DAY in Wrightwood, Ca

I've had a day relaxing and eating great food. And, boy have I eaten a bunch. A great big THANK YOU to Laurie P. for opening her home to this old greybearded man and fixing a marvelous breakfast this morning. She, along with all the people in Wrightwood, has been so friendly and helpful to all the PCT'ers that have come through yesterday and today. I highly recommend Wrightwood as a place to enjoy a zero mile day.

Shirley and I have made arrangements to meet a week earlier than originally planned. I look forward to seeing her. Tomorrow is another day and I'll be back on the trail in the morning.
Keep hiking,
Greybeard

Hi Carl,

Happy Birthday! Shirley let the cat out of the bag, so hopefully you'll be getting a few more birthday greetings.

Shirley tells us you've just passed Mt. Baden Powell. Don't know if you knew this but I spent the first ten years of my career working for the Boy Scouts. I'm woodbadge trained, went to two national jamborees and more. As a matter of fact, I was one of only five women in the country to be working for the Boy Scouts back then!

Hang in there; sounds like it's mighty hot out in your part of the world.

All Best,

Linda Medley
