Cyber Hikers and Sugar Coma - 1748.7 mi to Campo
Yesterday we met the first unpleasant people on the trail. A French (maybe Quebecois) couple were northbound on the PCT. They said they had made it through the Sierras too! But a few things didn't jive.
The girl had a huge attitude, as well as oversized Paris Hilton sunglasses. Not to mention the knee high gaiters. She also didn't know if they had a bug net with them, and threw a temper tantrum on the trail when we told them how bad the bugs were up ahead. They seemed very intent on who was where on the trail - so much so that they had stopped at an internet cafe in Ashland, some 10 miles off trail. And no, they weren't even resupplying there. Anyhow, they were insulting, "Oh, do you think you'll make it to Campo?", arrogant "Oh, North Cascades is easy in snow - just like the Sierras" and overall jerks. Total Cyber Hikers.
Anyways, enough ranting. We resupplied today at Hyatt Lake Resort. TINY store, but we got our fix. I ate 3 ice cream bars, 2 sodas and a Snickers promptly. Arij ate similarly, and we both entered a nice porch. Several hours later, we got up and gorged again - this time finding a huge, perfectly ripe avocado - it was delicious! The temp hovered around 92 degrees F in the shade all day. it was a good rest & resupply day, all in all. California, here we come!
