Day 83- no food

Well I do not have no food. I have enough to get me to seiad valley tomorrow, but it is the leftover stuff that I'm not a big fan of. In addition it is the type if food that does not translate to great energy. I am totally out of snack foods and I would give just about anything to have a candy bar, nutella, pop tart or ritz crackers. Those are some of my favorite snacks on the trail. The last two days I have been surviving on top roman, beans and couscous. All are pretty bland and I have noticed my energy level drop with only those to fuel me. Anyways today I was dragging all day. I was hoping for a big day to set myself up to get into Oregon and meet my grandparents in the next couple days. I didn't hurt myself for both of these to happen with 32 miles, but I didn't help myself either. Around 3 in the afternoon I just hit the wall. While walking the ridges, meadows, and the lakes of the wilderness today, I met slip and sweep. They are thru hikers who skipped the sierras. Then I met two girls section hiking from burney falls to ashland among many different day hikers. While I was walking by paradise creek I had a grouse fly up out of the tall grass not more than 5 feet from me. It was pretty cool and it scared me. I also got to see an amazing sunset over the mountains to top off the day. The Mosquitos have gotten pretty bad in places where water is around. I can't wait to get to seiad valley to get some food. Rumor is my sister stuck a dehydrated angel food cake in there. Then two days later I get to have lunch with my grandparents at callahans lodge!
