Mile 700 marks a transition on the PCT: out of the desert and into the Sierra. With a reportedly legendary snowpack in the Sierra, it is a big transition indeed. Many unknowns lie ahead for the bold thru-hikers who chose to continue through it.
And Chelan is there! She made it to Kennedy Meadows, mile 700, and reportedly headed into the mountains this morning. Apparently the internet was molasses slow and pay phones were really expensive, so but she got a few texts out asking me to write this post for her. (Can I call myself a "Blog Angel"?)

| Shout out to Patty and Ron, two of the most wonderful trail angels on the planet! Spent a glorious day at their home in Tehachapi enjoying home made enchiladas, Margaritas, and Captain Ron's famous sour dough waffles. |

We were part of the unfortunate group of 15+ hikers who all got a water-borne stomach virus in town. Vomiting, diarrhea, and a fever dehydrated us pretty quickly so we had to spend an extra day in recovery mode. Here we are squatting on the stoop of our cheap hotel heating soup to regain strength.
