Goodbye Tahoe, Goodbye Towns - Mile 1104 - 7/25

So it's time to leave Tahoe and say goodbye to the last major town for hundreds of miles. It was a loud one-strip road with exhaust fumes and constant loud construction and I was ready to hit the trail again. Because it's Typos birthday tonight we'll be having a special trail birthday dinner. We all left Tahoe easily thanks to Twinkletoes and her rental car early in the afternoon an planned on getting 11 miles down. With my belly still stuffed with popcorn and sushi, it took a lot to get back moving to hiking pace. We hiked into the night, set up camp and made a small fire. Birthday dinner for Typo consisted of chocolate chip zucchini bread (thanks mom!) and something that I guess they don't make in New Zealand, s'mores. Quite a healthy dinner right? An endless perk of being a thru-hiker. We each dozed off into post sugar high comas knowing that big mile days start from here on out and days off in town are a thing of the past.
