It was an easy walk to the road. I got the first car to stop. It was packed full so no room for me. A couple minutes later the same car came back with the front passenger seat empty. The mom had squished in the back seat with the 5 year old daughter, car seat and cooler. Awesome!

First stop was the restaurant. I had breakfast with Lenka (now Mermaid), Hardway and Ninja Tortoise. Next was the grocery store… the friendliest place on earth.  My resupply box was there. Mermaid, Hardway and I got a room over the store… $25 split 3 ways, 3 single beds.

Later in the day Atlas showed up!  It was so awesome to see him again. I last saw him in Etna.

I’ve been driving myself crazy with the weather forecast.  Thunderstorms are predicted and this next section is beautiful. I want to see it. Leaving right away would have been the best for weather. But waiting for Atlas was the best for so many other more important reasons.

1st beer. Thanks S' Rocket.
