Had a bit of a wobbly morning as so many people were leaving the trail. A Bristol girl I met at Frodo and Scout’s was on her way out of town to go home, and a couple of Aussie’s were making a planned exit.

But a call to Fleur and Harry’s sponsorship gave me a boost.

Tim (McGyver59) turned up with his wife so I regained my crampons (which were in his mail box to Wrightwood). I hope we can link up on trail later.

Wrightwood is a very friendly place, all the locals love a chat so spent most of the day chatting. I’m feeling refreshed but still think I’ll leave Wednesday. A local barman (Ryan) has offered a lift to the trailhead as long as I watch Liverpool vs Barcelona first! May well take him up on that.

Tomorrow I need to organise my resupply (probably a week of food to get me to Agua Dulce – the intervals between resupply are getting longer). Also I need to bounce my axe and boots up to Kennedy Meadows.

A trail angel is putting me up tonight (and tomorrow if I stay) in her caravan. My companion is ‘Easy Strider’, the 6’7″ owner of the feet I posted yesterday. Oh, and there are lovely cats here – plenty of cat cuddles! Will post pictures tomorrow – I hope Stormy won’t get jealous!

This is where I stayed last night:
