Day 26

I woke later than normal this morning. Around 7. I slowly rolled out of bed and packed up and then ate breakfast with Boujee and Thin Mint. I left second and moved quickly. I felt healthy and strong. It was mostly down today to Acton. The trail was hot and dusty and filled with the usual scratch brush. About 6 miles in we passed a fire station that had snacks and drinks for sale. I bought 2 Hawaiian Punch cans and drank them like nothing. I had a few snacks and enjoyed the shade and moved on.

The rest of the day was grossly hot and dry. The climbs weren’t big but they were annoying. We could see town long before we would arrive so that was frustrating. When we arrived we decided to stay the night so we could do laundry and shower. We said we’d eat only our food for dinner but before we knew it we were having pizza delivered. We enjoyed a nice dinner with Dijon, someone we’ve been seeing lately. Bright Side, Lefty, and Hoops all showed up. It was nice to have a group together again. There are a bunch of younger kids I’ve never seen before and they’re very rowdy and don’t seem to care others are trying to sleep. Should be a fun night.
