Day 7 "Warner Springs"

We woke up early and hiked through some beautiful oaks into some plains. Took a side trip to eagle rock(first picture), and spent some time hopping on rocks with the boys. Than we hiked into our first resupply at Warner springs. Some of the elderly in Warner Springs created a resupply station out of a community center for the hikers. They employee troubled teens in the meighborhood as a way for them to earn money for college, it's a great idea, cuz it's a win win for the hikers and the community. As we pulled up we met two other hikers from UT that we've gotten really close with since. They're names are "Dirt Bag" and "Chosen One". They are both recovered addicts hiking for recovering addicts. "Dirt bag" got his name by being a dirt bag. In the rock climbing world, a dirt bag is someone who lives out of there car, so they can save money on rent, and climb as much as possible. "Chosen One" got his name because a lady approached him in Julian (a city with 8 different witch covens) and told him how great his life would be if he accepted Jesus, then put her hands on his head and started praying over him, so the hikers there started calling him chosen one.

After we had ate and met with all the hikers holding up at the resupply, Aj and I saw a baseball game at the far field and decided to head over there. We realized as we approached that it was a girls game, and that we looked like creepy old hobos, so we headed back. We hadn't showered in a week, we both had beards, and we were gimping over to the field from our blisters, when all the day's started giving us stern looks.

Once we had retreated to the safety of the hikers. We found "Chosen One" and "Dirt Bag" filling blisters with medical grade tree sap. When they took off my shoes everyone shuddered and "Dirt Bag" dubbed me "Wolf Paw". After that Curtis found a guitar, and a big group of us started singing songs ranging from Beatles to Taylor Swift. Then we all hung around a camp fire till it was time to crash.
