Monday July 19th had Dave, Fire Marshall, and Zero finishing up business in Bridgeport, visiting the post office, maybe the grocery store. Once all their town work was complete, they would then be looking for a hitch back to the trail only 14.7 miles away.
Dave's Spot came in at 8:36 tonight, just off of Hwy 108. Dave did mention that his Spot was running out of batteries, but looks like he got some new ones in Bridgeport. I know they like camping away from the rode, typically a mile away. Tonight, I think they are just shy of a mile away from the road. I know that Dave had been hoping to get about 11 miles in today. He'll be driving Zero and Fire Marshall tomorrow! You can follow them on PCT Half Mile map California Section J, page 1.

Zero told me that when hiking the Appalachian Trail, each State Line marked another section on the trail checked off. Here on the Pacific Crest Trail, sections are marked by Half Mile's maps. Every time they move onto a new map section it's like crossing into a new State.
They now have 75.5 miles to go until we hear from them again. See page 11 of the PCT Half Mile map California Section J, page 11 for the elevation. Tomorrow the boys will hike about 1000 feet up and then 2000+ feet down. Let's hope the down isn't too hard on the knees!
