Day 38 – 6/4/11 – 8 miles (566)
Ahhh, slack packing (walking a section of trail without carrying all your stuff). Thanks to the shuttle rides from the hotel, we walked the 8 miles between Tehachapi Willow Springs road and highway 58 with only the essentials (water, camera, and toilet paper). It was fun to be able to fly so quickly down the trail, and having a hot tub and showers waiting for us didn’t hurt.
We’ve had a lot of days off lately, but we’re still on pace to get to the Sierras fairly early. Hopefully the weather warms up quickly and melts a bunch of snow. Tomorrow we are definitely going back to the trail.
