Days 7-8 mile 115 (4.3% of the trail)

Slow nero (near-zero mile) day. Hung out around Warner Spring and got my food sorted out for the trip to Idyllwild. Called a gear shop there to confirm they carry the shoe insoles and sunglasses I want. There's still a fire closure in effect on this part of the PCT. I'm taking the official detour, while some are hitching to skip it altogether. I'll probably try to hitch the road walk portion on CA 74, it sounds dangerous. Met a hiker at camp who was sending his doge home. His paws were burned after 100 miles of desert hiking. Limping. Got pizza at the golf resort grill (2/4 stars) and wrapped the rest in aluminum foil to take on the trail. At 5 pm I set off, walked 5 miles and camped next to a stream.

Really craving fresh, wet fruit.
