Well, this won't be the most eventful post, it was all about getting to Hwy 58, and then getting a ride from there to Tehachapi where I am staying for two nights. Most of the day was spent walking through the Tehachapi Pass Wind Farm--I think it's the second largest in the world. It's very impressive how many wind mills there are here. And it seems like sort of a lab for just about every type, shape, and size of windmill.
I had called the Kern County Dial-A-Ride to get picked up at 5:30PM, but I got to Hwy 58 around 4:15 and wanted to see if I could get to the Tehachapi Post Office before they closed at 5PM. So, I decided to try to hitch a ride, not so easy for a single man on the side of a freeway. However, after about 10 minutes, a very nice local, Silvio, stopped and was super helpful in taking me to the post office. We got there about one minute before they closed and I was able to get my resupply box. From there, I was going to get a Lyft or Uber to my hotel, but two local ladies, obviously familiar with PCT hikers, offered to drive me to my hotel...perfect! And so lucky!
I went to Walmart for some food and a few other items I needed, and noticed a Panda Express right nearby, so got dinner there and relaxed back at the hotel.
No pics today.
