468.4 down, 1717.5
Betsy arranged for us to get a ride back to where we stopped yesterday from Kate, a trail angel. We made a pit stop about a mile in at the Full Belly Deli, where we split a breakfast burrito and coffee.... Ahhh, coffee! We met Blackhawk, who we had heard about from other NoBos. NotYet enjoyed chatting with him about being prior service and what else? Blackhawks. There are a lot of prior military out on the trail.
A few miles into our day some NoBos told us about trail magic a few miles ahead, but we weren't sure if any would be left by the time we got there. We got to Cloudland Road and a cooler was sitting near a tree with gallons of ice water. We opened the cooler that had just been restocked. It had Pringles, string cheese, PB&J sammies, rice crispy treats, cookies and gum! We enjoyed stopping for a bit and chowing down! The fact that we'd just stopped an hour earlier for lunch was irrelevant. This was free food!
We were tired towards the evening, but pushed on three more miles to Winturri Shelter. Since we have been without a hard rain for about two weeks, a lot of little streams have dried up. The water source at this shelter was down to a trickle so it took a while to fill up, but it was great spring water.
