Today I traveled on 3 separate buses from Bishop to Reno to Susanville to Chester where the bus dropped Me, Popcorn, Bubbles, Karma, Walking Home and Polar Bear in town. While I flipped forward to avoid snow, I will have 20 to 30 miles of snow going through Lassen national park. I had originally planned to flip over Lassen and start past the snow at Old Station , but transportation was difficult. I don’t expect the Lassen snow to be quite as bad as what I have experienced to this point, but time will tell.
We arrived to the city of Chester and found the city park. It is rumored that PCT HIKERS can sleep here. There is a baseball game going on and I saw a CHP officer watching. I asked him about staying and was told the official answer is no, but as long as we clean up after ourself they know we’re here and will look the other way.
We set up to cowboy camp yes, on the stage which is covered and has three sides. Cowboy camping is on your mat with no tent. There are also restrooms nearby that we believe will be left unlocked tonight.
Today’s PCT miles hiked 0
Total PCT Miles hiked to date 788.5
I call that mercy and grace 🙌🏼. What a strange transition but it will be a blessing.
