Today was stressful but a great success and fun. I woke up early and went to the Looney Bean for some amazing coffee and a relaxing few moments before the others woke up. Soon I was joined by all three of them. Our plan was to hitch to Reno and get a car to Ashland just like we did before.
We hung out then went our separate ways to do our chores and get ready to leave. Once we had all finished and I had taken a last shower for the road we walked out to 395 to hitch in front of the gas station. At first it was the four of us but soon we got discouraged and so I said that maybe we ought to try in sets of 2. So Yote and 2.Toe went to McDonald’s while we hitched.
It worked! Within minutes, before Yote cloud even order a white van pulled up and asked if we wanted a ride. I asked if we could grab the others and the sweet couple and their 17 year old puppy agreed.
We pulled up to McDonald’s and Yote and 2.Toe jumped in the back with us. We were all sitting on the family’s bed and bouncing around till we figured out we could just lay down and relax.
We made a short pitstop at Bodi the ghost town and the couple was so sweet and just let us lounge whole they drove us the whole way to Reno!
We arrived just before the car rental place closed down and we said our goodbyes.
The car ride was fun and but for a short stop at Chick-fil-a, Chipoltle, and Panda Express we drove straight through to a campsite 11 miles out of Ashalnd.
We knew the routine because we had been their before and had our campsite togeather in no time.
Inspite of a bright moon and lights we crashed and slept like little hiker babies.
