Lindsay and I finished up our section and returned to my brother Tim's house for another day of royal treatment! We had a glow stick party with my niece and nephew - thanks for the amazing care package, Laura!! We went out on Tim's boat and discovered that we're more "storm runners" than "storm chasers," racing around the lake trying to outwit some serious thunder clouds. Also Justin, who, due to a childhood in NYC, has a learners permit but no drivers license, drove the boat. Most scared I've been on the trail. And my amazingly handy Dad fixed up my trekking pole straps that some critter chewed through two nights ago! That new webbing cost $3 - way cheaper than new poles!! All in all, an amazing respite with my family and friends!! Tomorrow, Justin and I resume the trail and we've got to pull big miles to get to Castella by the 11th to meet Timmy C! Huge thanks to my parents, Tim, Heather, Max, and Skye for being our basecamp for this section!! I'm the luckiest hiker out there!
