This morning I hitched a ride to a local market. Then got a ride to Idyllwild, a beautiful town a few miles west of the trail. Trail angels, Daryl and Ellen, chauffered us and then drove me back to the market because I left my hiking poles. I then caught up with four hikers and hiked back into Idyllwild to spend the night. Had pizza for lunch. I'll stay the night and get caught up on laundry and take care of the blisters on my heels. Should be an interesting day.
Keep hiking,

DAY 8, Saturday, May 3, 24 mile day, TOTAL 127
I passed 3 water caches today. Came to Highway 74 crossing and found that part of the trail was closed because of a fire. The fire was due to humans smoking. So I stopped at Paradise Cafe 1 mile off the trail. Ate supper with 4 other thru-hikers - Sidewinder, Ross, RS, Brad and Gopher and spent the night on public land sleeping underneath a huge, beautiful pine tree behind the cafe. Will see what tomorrow brings.
Keep hiking,
