DAY 15
5-8-2013
Julian, CA to 29 Palms, CA
-COURTNEY TO THE RESCUE!
-My friend from Texas, Courtney, picked me up in Julian today. I didn't feel ready to hit the trail yet because my back pain was still persistent. Courtney drove 3 hours to come get me and another 3 hours back to her home with me. We even swung by the Warner Springs Post Office to get my bounce bucket. What a lifesaver and such a great friend!!!!!! She and her husband Alan have been so sweet to take me into their home at the last second! I met their precious daughter Brooke too. I fell asleep at around 7:00pm! I guess I was exhausted. It was relaxing to know I could rest up and let my back recover while in the company of good people. -My hiking buddy Beave went back on the trail too. I felt like I was holding him up (because I was). It made me happy to know he got to go finish his hike in his own timing. I'm excited to know that I'll be hiking my hike in my own timing without holding others up with my back problems.
DAY 16
5-9-2013
29 Palms, CA
-I woke up at Courtney's and took her to work. She let me use her car so I could go get a massage while she was at work. My massage was AMAZING and I could feel the pain leaving my body. I am relaxing in Courtney's living room right now and am catching up on celebrity news. I spoke to my trail friend Ruth. She will be getting in to Big Bear City on May 11th. I am going to try and meet her there and hop back on to the PCT. Once I complete the trail, I will swing back down to Southern California and finish hiking the trail section between Warner Springs and Big Bear City.
