Zero day in lake Isabella

I know we are taking a lot of zeros all of a sudden and it’s slowing us down but truly there is no reason to enter the sierras unless I want to posthole and hike in a ton of snow without my dad. So I’m loving the zeros. Woke up sweating as usual. Started my period. SO FUN! Since I’m excerising so much I was two weeks late:) we headed to the diner once again and literally ordered the same exact thing but this time with toast. Resupplied at the dollar general for cheap as fuck which was amazing. I planned out next few days on trail which will be three full days and a morning basically. Lots and lots of elevation coming our way. Then we rotted for way too long but I loved it until it gave me some eye strain lol. I then cleaned out my pack and organized everything with my resupply. Everyone else went to lunch but I rotted some more lol. Again loved it. Then we all had a gossip sesh which I won’t spill the tea on because now I got some pct readers on here and I can’t talk as freely as I want aka spread shit that isn’t about me. Which I realize I shouldn’t spread but in my head no one is reading this but I need to remind myself that people are and I need to be trusted and not spread shit so I’m not going to spread shit even tho I want to. So sorry guys, no more juicy tea from trail unless it’s not too personal OR I get permission OR it’s from another trail family that I know will never read this. But if you guys call me personally I will spill everything. ANYWAY, gossip sesh with the boys was great and I think it was very beneficial. We then headed to the river once again and hung out there before pizza. Pizza was dank but I’m still pissed it wasn’t buffet style like I was promised. We got thrifty ice cream as well which the rainbow sherbet was a lil disappointing but still good. Headed back to the pink motel where rock licker and Ben from Boston got picked up to head back to trail even if they didn’t want to lol. Hopefully we will see them before the head into the sierras. I know I said I wouldn’t gossip but this is about someone I know will never read this. Leo the kind trail angel who picked us up yesterday took the guys to trail but dropped off this notorious guy off at the motel named ninja. Ninja has THREE sexual harassment accusations apparently on trail. We saw him at hiker town and I hate to be this person (sike!) but he looks creepy as hell. Apparently he has tried to enter three different girls tents without permission. I think I heard a story that he was on the AT and a girl met him and then he kinda followed her for an extended period of time making her super uncomfortable. Overall, I am very happy to be with a group of men who will beat the shit out of him if he tries anything. I mean I could too but why should I lift a finger. JOKING. I would beat the absolute living shit out of that man if he tried anything. He would regret the day he ever interacted with me if he even tried. Anyway now he’s staying here at the motel so I am very happy to be leaving tomorrow and getting as far away from that man as possible. I know also that it is just by word of mouth and accusations but the man looks creepy and that’s all I need to know. All doors are locked tight tonight. Overall, good day with a lot of rotting and very excited to get on trail tomorrow. It’s supposed to be really hot tho so we are leaving later in the evening to night hike a lil.

Omg I almost forgot we got a hitch back from the river to the pizza place. First thing the dude says “is it okay if I drink and drive? Californians are so not chill with that anymore even tho so many people do it.” The look I gave rock licker, you guys should’ve seen but I had no choice but to hop into the back. We only went like 2 miles but I was holding on tight. He also was like I wasn’t sure about picking you guys up but you have a decent looking lady so how bad could you guys be. It’s like the tooth to tattoo ratio. It was the craziest hitch we’ve got and truly we should’ve said no to it but we got to the pizza place safely thankfully.

I am also realizing how fucking disgusting I look based on just my shirt. Omg that thing was just washed and I still look like that.
