The morning was great as we strolled easily for 8 miles to a cool little ski shelter. There was a cooler inside with nice cold sodas and Gatorades and even beer. When we left the shelter, we hiked 0.5 miles to a road crossing where there was some more trail magic! A group of PCT alumni that thru hiked in 2014 had a huge tent set up with sodas and beers and hot sandwiches. One of the guys was an actual chef and was making BLTs and grilled ham and cheese sandwiches and all sorts of goodness. Carolyn and I had a grilled cheese with tomato and pesto sauce. It was ridiculously delicious and the absolute best trail magic so far.
