Day 11 – Thursday 7/23/2020 – 1447.3 – clear, some clouds, sunny, rain clouds and some rainy, back to sunny and hot. I woke late at 4:50 am and got on trail at 5:40 am. It was a long road walk. I got to Justin at 9:45 am. I met a NOBO thru-hiker named Earlybird. I stayed with Justin 1 hour and then off I went to get 10 more miles. I am now a single track trail. There are many climbs. Also there are many blow downs. It has been a long exhausting day. This afternoon I fell backwards and ripped my backpack big side packet on a pointed branch of a blowdown. I’m lucky I didn’t hurt myself. I found a Tentsite waypoint on Guthooks. I hope it’s good, that is, it’s not windy. When I got there I found that there are trees here finally and some shade. I met NOBO thru-hikers Ken and Sam at my stopping point.
