Day 36: fourth night in Tehachapi
Although we are keen to get back on the trail, the forecast of rain and snow and overnight temperatures of zero, prompted us to book a fourth night in the motel. Hopefully we will get back on the trail tomorrow morning.
Still, we had a relaxing day. In the morning we went to a nearby church. They were very friendly and welcoming.
Afterwards we went to a popular bakery and enjoyed some sandwiches and pastries. We were served by a lady from Melbourne, and I had a Bundaberg ginger beer.
The afternoon was not so encouraging, as we read more and more Facebook accounts of hikers grappling with crazy weather up and down the trail. Most people are opting to move off trail for some time until conditions improve.
Glad you got to enjoy some home comfort of ginger beer, and you are making wise decisions. Stay safe.
Aren’t you guys meant to be having summer over there??
Hey r&r hope the downtime has been good, but also hope things clear up for you soon! Thinking of you both 🙂
Travel safe we want you both back here safely at the end of this
How wonderful to have the internet to get all this information to help you make your decisions.
I bet the motel bed was wonderful for your stay 🙂
