Day 31 Mile 388-403

Into Juntura

Up and over Drinkwater pass on the way into Juntura. many miles of steep hot mountains and my water pack leaked and got my whole bag soaked. Filtered some more water from a little stream but it was warm... Thats alright Justin always says that room temperature water is better for you anyways;-) Pushed around one last bend and found myself in the most idealic valley of creation. Walked along the little river into a patch of trees where hidden amongst them was the Oasis Cafe. Inside April and Terry were working and having fun visiting with their patrons. I met Brandy and her daughter Corbin. Corbin is a delightful 11 year old who wanted to know all about the walk. Terry is Corbin’s hero and is the Best Cook! Terry and April are working to save money to get to Alaska where Terry will climb Mt. Mckinley or die trying. It is great to see people following their dreams. Terry says that no matter how much money you have, you will always find ways to spend it and end up needing more, so life must be about DOING. Go Do! I want to give a special thanks to the anonymous trail angel who bought my meal! Camped out at the RV site out behind the Oasis.
