Day Seventy Eight: The Priest Shelter Today was so eventful and amazing! It started out stressful since I tried to rush to get my mail drop from Ashley. It was wonderful and delish. We got down to the road and met milo who was doing trail magic with pulled pork and bbq and so many other things. It was wonderful m. He thru hiked in 2011 and comes and does this every year. We breaker there for 4 hours and then headed up the priest. We also swam in the river a bit

Coming down three ridges kinda sucked, but we made it. We spent last night with hardware and laughed all night.

Everyone we met talked about the priest sucking for us and all that but it wasn't all that bad. We just pushed and made it and felt awesome! We met the ultra runner and got a pic with him. He was so nice

I talked to Ben and he said how proud of me he was and told me he wants to help me financially and send me a box. It was nice

We made dinner and hung at the shelter. Sarah and I make a really good team

Strange... I came across Scott Jurek's name on a tribute board to the Leona Crest 50miler in California. He was a beast on that route back in 2000-2005. Happy trails!
