Woke early and started the drive to Vincent Gap at mile 274. Parked the car and knew I was doomed. The road was closed so no thru traffic to hitch and no cell reception. Lovely area though
But the trail gods provide, and 2 day hikers gave me a much needed ride San Bernardino (they were trail metro employees and got me a free short ride. Kinda cool ,
Uber into big bear city and met Kenny at Wyatt’s ,a very cool line dancing bar. Met several unique PCT hikers (straw hat, Popeyes, etc) and had a great evening!
Nice folks
Tomorrow after breakfast I get to start hiking. Can’t wait!
