DAY 61, June 27 - heading toward Ebbetts Pass

Spent the night camped out at Sonoro Pass (Coordinates: N38 deg 19.776', W119 deg 38.101') after enjoying a great supper in the town of Bridgeport, doing laundry and enjoying a refreshing shower - see description below.

Another experience of great American generosity. A local man who lives in Bridgeport met two hikers at the post office and simply asked if they needed anything. Chickadee answered we sure could use a shower. He told them to come on over to their home and they could use their facilities. Then he and his wife opened up their home to at least 4 other hikers. We all enjoyed a great shower and some homemade brownies. Thank you Mollie & Steve.

Shirley and Gordon drove us up to the trailhead and we enjoyed hanging out until nightfall. This morning Hank's Sonora Pass Cafe was open again this morning and as usual, Shirley had pastries for all of us.

Will report on this hike today later.
