Wake up 7 am
Call Gran EB tell her about getting to go to McDonald’s today. “Oh you know it’s always good to have big goals!” Tell her about getting a gf, when she was hanging up “He has a gf! That’s so amazing!”
MCDONALDS CLOSED RED ALERT
I timed my morning to arrive at McDonald’s at 10:30 am because that’s when they switch to the lunch menu. Closes 10:30-3:30. Devastating. There’s a subway across the interstate. Send it. Picked up by Andrew, a day hiker i saw earlier on the trail. I Said “You’re going ultralight today.” Fucking golden, best trail banter in a while.
So when he saw me walking he just pulled over and said ” you need a ride?” Short but so clutch, Gods plan. Flow (German who met his wife at octoberfest and she was living in India) is at Subway, we chill and chat. We hike a few miles together. 2 subway subs, 1 for now, 1 for dinner. Nice fucking workers. Chatting with us letting us get water. Water gods praise be. Shoutout Delaney for the $10 subway card. Camped on forest road with Hobbit and crew from previous night.
