August 9 - On The Fast Track



We decided to leave early this morning to try to make some miles so we could be in Castella before the store closed. Ammarati's Market will be holding my resupply box, new Superfeet, a new bottom cover for my Jetboil, and some new socks. I'm so excited! I'm sure they'll also have salty snacks and beer. 


We made or first 13 miles before lunch mostly due to the downhill grade. The McCloud River was cold, but refreshing. Domestix washed a few clothes and tried fishing while I hung out with the Fastwalker Gang (my name for them as they all walk at least 3.5 miles per hour) and had lunch. It's funny, but we took more time and ended up in the same spot they did tonight. Go figure. We're camped in a gully in the forest. We're hoping it doesn't rain as there are no spots that aren't in the bottom of the gully. Tomorrow it will be hard to get up as the light hardly penetrates the trees.
