Meetup: Day 43 – Monday 8/24/2020 – 1977.1 – clear, sunny, hot, monsoon cloudy, no rain. I woke at 5 am. I packed up. I found the trail was a road walk. I went by parking/trailhead. I got water to fill two 0.7 L bottles. The trail slowly climbed up to pass. I went by two women hikers – Honey Buns and Cheech. The first climb was steep but a short one. Then there was a long down hill. I stopped for snacks and guzzled one bottle of water with lemonade. So much better than yesterday’s lack of water. Then I did more road walking. It was hot in the sun. I got to Justin about noon. Yippee! I had lots of 7-Ups. I drank three of them. Sugar, sugar, and more sugar! When I got there Apollo was there enjoying a soda. Later two other women stopped by. It’s surprising that everyone wants a soda or beer if it is after 5 pm. We had about five to eight hikers stop by the Jeep. Justin is now well known for his kindness. For dinner he made me pork tacos – carnitas tacos. Yum!
