Day 33 6/17 6mi.
Happy Fathers day to all the dad's reading this! We probably wouldn't be experiencing this amazing adventure if it wasn't for our father.
We were able to sleep in a bit since we were staying at the Motel 6. We got up and went to have breakfast at a litrle place nearby with Pacemaker, Dr. Huss (the 2 guys we shared the room with), Avocado, and Chow down. We have been hanging out with this bunch quite a bit lately.
After breakfast we headed to the grocery store to resupply. The guy shopping in the picture above is Dr. Huss. We went swimming in the motels pool, but spent most of the day doing our town chores.
We went out to dinner at the same place we had breakfast, then everyone but pacemaker headed out to the road to hitch back to the trail. After almost an hour we all finally got a ride in a big van.
The entire area around town and near the trail is covered in wind turbines there are probably thousands of them! And we saw more tower pieces and blades lined up in town to be built soon. They even had some very old two bladed turbines. The two locals we met both hated the turbines with a passion and referred to them as "raptor killing machines" haha.
We all started hiking at about 7pm and finished at about 1030 in an area with cows roaming around. We had to kick dried up cow pies out of the way to make room for us to lay down.

Happy Fathers day to dad. He would be so proud of you two. I know that I am!
