Fishtank had a box at the Mount Laguna Post Office, and that did not open until noon.  A bunch of us met at the Pine House Cafe and Tavern. The breakfast was excellent. It was good to get something not freeze dried in my stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-10.13.17-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was good to see some of the faces we have come to know there.  It is a good resting spot to recharge and resupply for the next portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover has-custom-content-position is-position-bottom-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-09.19.16-scaled.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Jamie and Candice in line with me.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yuri, the hiker I met at the train station in San Diego and the person who made some rude comments about my ability to hike and my gear choices, was kicked out of the restaurant.  There was a sign there that clearly said, &#8220;Do not charge your phone with this outlet.&#8221;  Needless to say, he pulled it down and did it anyways.  The rest of the hiker community gave him the stink eye.  No one wishes to hike with anyone like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At noon, Fishtank received his box and he has more food than he needs.  I didn&#8217;t need to resupply yet, but I took his leftovers.  He is very generous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I prayed for someone I could hike with. God gave me someone who is in the exact same situation as me, except he is conservative and I&#8217;m liberal, because God has a wonderful sense of humor. Still, we get along well that when we hike, I just need to look at him to know when to go faster or to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hike was short. We started in the afternoon, and we returned to where we left off. Many people just went through the town. They missed some amazing views.  Despite a short day, some of the photos I took were the best ever. I&#8217;ll resolve that when I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomorrow is going to be difficult. We have 25 miles of no water we must get through. It is going to be a tough slog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some other photos I took:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" data-id=\"3014\" src=\"https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-12.39.14-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-12.39.14-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-12.39.14-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-12.39.14-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-12.39.14-1536x747.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-12.39.14-2048x996.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-12.39.14-676x329.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" data-id=\"3015\" src=\"https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-14.24.31-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-14.24.31-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-14.24.31-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-14.24.31-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-14.24.31-1536x747.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-14.24.31-2048x996.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-14.24.31-676x329.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3018\" src=\"https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-15.22.21-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-15.22.21-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-15.22.21-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-15.22.21-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-15.22.21-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-15.22.21-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-15.22.21-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-15.22.21-676x676.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" data-id=\"3019\" src=\"https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-16.14.01-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-16.14.01-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-16.14.01-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-16.14.01-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-16.14.01-1536x747.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-16.14.01-2048x996.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/jphikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2018-04-09-16.14.01-676x329.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Started: Mount Laguna (42.0)Ended: Penny Pines (48.7)Total: 6.7 + 5 bonus miles Today was going to be a lazy day.
