Day 87-40 miler

I woke up to the tune of my alarm clock with the idea of completing the 44 miles I had left in the section today. But when I heard the alarm, I had no motivation to get up so I decided to sleep in. I finally got on the trail around 715 and I was all business. If it hadn't been for so many day hikers I may have actually made it to the highway. First I met the day hiker Edward around 9 in the morning and he was very interested in my journey and he was one of those people that it was just a pleasure to talk to. So I played with his dog and told him about my trip for over 20 minutes. This happen many times throughout the day, but I never chatted with people this long and I had no interest in playing yogi bear today and trying to get some food. I just wanted to get to highway 140 and see my grandparents again and all the cousins I did not see on the 4th of July. I passed by hyatt lake and then Howard prairie lake where I believe they have a shooting range and a racetrack. My dad actually worked there one summer and trail ran in the pct. The day finished off with me putting on some music and really mashing some miles even through the somewhat bad Mosquitos. I ended up a little over 4 miles away from the highway. I can sleep in and then take my time getting to highway 140 where my grandparents will pick me up at 830.
