pct day 17 - 05/22/13

i got up at guffy campground, having slept in until 08:30, and made the short 4.5 mile hike in to the town of wrightwood, deciding after my big three days i would make a restful nearo (nearly a zero). as i was hiking down the mountain, cue the views . . .



i got a strong feeling to hurry up, so i listened. just as i came down the final hill a white pickup truck pulled up and dropped off two other hikers. a great guy and wrightwood local, named clint, immediately offered me a ride into town. wrightwood is amazing. so friendly and welcoming. i have met so many beautiful souls and wrightwood was no exception. from a seriously drunk guy who flows with divine philosophy (like saying "dude, you are my batman" after putting him to bed), to an ultramarathoner who has developed her own new and unbelievably stunning way of processing photography, to a 20 year old who is way wise beyond his years, to a canadian woman who offers insight with no fear at all . . .

incredible . . .

my lesson, to pick one out of many from wrightwood, is the be fearless in the light i have to offer this world . . . thank you porsche . . .
