Day 75- exhaustion

The plan was to do 38 miles. It would have been done if I had not opened my food bag 31 miles in an realized all I had left was beans and top roman. I figured I better resupply for the first time since truckee. I hitched in on the highway and did not have to wait too terribly long. In town I had a nutritious meal at McDonalds and bought way too Much food. It will work out since I need to eat more. The hitch out was real easy. A guy in an old beater sedan with motivational tapes playing picked me up. When he dropped me off at the trailhead he promised to pray for me. I then walked 1 more mile and camped...exhausted. Prior to all this I got up at 430 to hike the hat creek rim while it was cooler. It was a very pretty view of Shasta from it. But as the day went on it went from pretty to just hot. All us hikers are used to snow not heat, so a lot of breaks took place. At least the cache at the midpoint was full and my solar charger worked pretty good to get some kind of charge into my nearly dead phone. When I finished the waterless stretch at the Crystal lake fish hatchery I met two section hikers who looked like they were exhausted. They were amazed I was hiking on. Well I am exhausted now and cannot stay awake to write another line.
