We woke up with just a few more miles to hike into Chester. The trail gradually winded down through the forest in the morning.
As we neared the trailhead we passed through several ranches that had cut cleared land for cattle to graze. Luckily (for the cattle), these two hungry hikers didn’t see any on the way through!
We made it to Chester late in the morning and had a big breakfast. Later in the afternoon we found a cafe with huge pretzels and couldn’t help but stop.
All three hotels/motels were booked, but an awesome trail angel couple, Rosie and Dave, took us in for the night. Thanks again for letting us stay and for a great meal!
We’ll be back on the trail Wednesday!
House closed today! Savannah home will close tomorrow morning so I guess you could say we are homeless now. We start our “march to the sea” tomorrow. Congratulations on reaching the midpoint. What an incredible achievement. Stay safe and stay together! Love, Dad
