Today, July 25th, we spend working on downloading pictures and then heading to the trail to give away 20 pairs of Ahnu shoes. Zero, Dave, and I found two hikers resting their feet, Breezy and Little Bit. Breezy had a $25 pair of sneakers and was extremely excited at getting a new pair. He was trying to make his money stretch, but knew that a new pair of good shoes would really help his feet.
We set up the boxes and the Ahnu sign and the hikers turned up! It was so rewarding seeing all these hikers who were tired and in need of a pick-me-up get handed a pair of new Ahnu shoes. A huge thanks to Ahnu for spreading joy today!
We are waiting for Zero to hear from his Sponsors tomorrow to determine if we move all three of the guys forward 400 miles or if Dave goes ahead alone. We are hoping for this team to stay together. We'll let you know what happens either tomorrow late or Tuesday (depends upon how much driving I have to do tomorrow.
Dave says hi to everyone and thanks them for watching his adventure.
NOTE to Keith: Dave was so excited to tell you that he had also hiked all of the John Muir Trail this summer, but found out that he still has 20 miles to go from Tuolumne Meadows to Yosemite Valley. That will have to be another hike Dave and I do together later.
For anyone who thought about hiking with Dave, he had to hike around Baden Powell due to the amount of snow earlier this year. He wants to go back and hike from Baden Powell to Little Jimmy. Keep this in mind for end of October beginning of November. A firm date will be communicated soon after he finishes the trail.

TAJ ...Greetings from Cisco. I'm the fellow that gave them a lift at Sonora Pass. Tried to send an e-mail update to Just Dave's e-mail, but the box was full. Was fun to relive some of my 2001 PCT hike adventures with the guys. Just couldn't leave them on the road, someday they will give someone else a lift, I'm sure. Cisco combsrichard@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteThanks Cisco for taking care of them! They told me about you! I'll make sure Just Dave gets your message next time I talk to him. They were so appreciative of your kindness! Please stay in touch! Dave's wife Jane
