A night with Scout and Frodo
Miles Hiked: 0
turns out, while fairly straightforward, getting to San Diego was pretty rough. The jetlag really kicked my ass and i was in a trance as i made my way to the hotel in San Diego.
the first few days were filled with a lot of logistics, such as getting a simcard (a bit tricky without a us adress) and buying food, but also sleeping to get rid of the jet lag.
the real trip started on the 5th as i came to Scout and Frodo. These two legendary thruhikers have been hosting thruhikers for years.
The evening was spent with getting settled in the tents, learning some linedancing and getting to know the people who are starting their hike but also those whom have done theirs earlier and see now volunteering to help us hopefuls.
A lot of the nervosity went out the window as the night progressed and the conversations jumped from the snow to their favorite meal on trial.
Super excited to get started!
