HikerTown

The recent days have been like a tour of trail angel stops and HikerTown Hostel is the last one until the Sierras. Our plan was to spend a little bit of time at the hostel during the heat of the day and night-hike through the Mojave Desert section to Tehachapi. We could hardly believe it when we checked the weather and it was expected to go from 95+ to 75. It was a pretty huge relief to know that we could relax, hang out with hikers, and not have to come up with some elaborate sleep schedule to work around the heat. HikerTown had a lot more to offer than I had imagined and we've had a really nice time here. The nearby market was even picking up hikers. We had fresh deli sandwiches and were able to replenish the snacks we find ourselves burning through; faster and faster as our "hiker hunger" grows. Tomorrow, we head out through the dreaded Mojave, feeling blessed with good timing.
