back to work

Day 46 ~ [pct] miles 788 - 789

So the task of getting back to the trail was almost as daunting, and with less motivation.  We stood in town, thumbs out with a sign that read "Independence", for  an hour and a half!  Finally, a very kind lady who had walked by earlier said that she had nothing else to do this afternoon, and offered to give us a ride.  She took us allllll the way to the trail, almost 60 miles.  How amazing! 

We were dreading the 7.5 mile uphill hike just to get back to the PCT.  Our packs are heavy with 7 1/2 days of food.It actually wasn't as horrible as anticipated; the trail was really nicely graded.  We didn't hike too far once we got back to the trail, as it was getting late.  Back to work for real tomorrow.
