PCT day 4 - mile 52 to mile 77
"To pick a guy American girls are going by the 666 rule. Six numbers in bank account, six inches in your pants and six feet hight." Kerry, the bus driver.
"And six different accents." Stefan Wyszyński aka Calves.
Today we hiked 23 miles to Julian one of the few little towns the trail goes next to across the dessert. We are staying in Stagecoach RV located few miles away from the town as all the accomodation in Julian has been booked, so the plan is to hitchhike there tomorrow morning do some resupplying and hit the trail again around midday.
Hiking through the dessert was quite enjoyable today, cactus are blooming, the wind from yesterday was almost gone and the weather was good, no rattlesnakes in sigh, a lot of prairie dogs, crows and even few chipmunks.
We hit a major trail magic once we arrived at the Scissors Crossing in Julian, couple of hikers under the bridge drinking beer from the cache, we joined in for a conversation and a can. Turned out that one of the hikers was half Polish and his name was Karol Wyszyński (like a famous polish cardinal haha), he traveled a lot across Europe and world doing different hikes and was a blast to listen to. After half an hour trail angels Frog and Papa Joe arrived with Bumbleberry and Pecan pies for us (no idea what a Bumbleberry pie was so I went for Pecan), after they left another trail angel drove in with a pizza for everyone and then he offered to drive us 4 miles down the road to Stagecoach RV - in case you wandered all of the above trail magic was free :)
It's meant to be raining tonight, so tomorrow might be a little bit miserable, we'll see.
It's been a long day of walking with a great surprise at the end.
