May 14 Supplemental Post: Don's Real Time Updates

Day 7: Before departing Warner Springs
I'd normally put this on Don's Postholer Journal, but since he had computer/Internet access at Warner Springs, he posted an entry himself.

They have free coffee here, but it's awful. Drinking it anyway. I had fish&chips and the salad bar for dinner last night. The salad was b-flat but the fish&chips were awesome. The batter was really crunchy and the fish pieces were huge. We got a $5 off coupon when we checked in, so it was only $16 and that includes tip and an iced tea. Sweet."

Just posted a journal entry for today. Not sure if I'll have coverage tonight, but I put in where I think I'll get to. It will only be 10 miles or so, so it should be VERY doable. And just a heads up, but i will be surprised if I get any coverage tomorrow. I may not get anything until I get to Paradise Cafe. We'll see.

checkout is at 12. Will start packing soon, including filling up my camelback with ice. Ice, yum. At 12, I will walk over to the post office to mail a package home, then over to the golf course grill for lunch. They have a nice outdoors seating area in the shade. So I'll just hang out there. I bought another newspaper today, so I'll have something to read. It's awesome here, but I'm actually actually getting antsy to get back on the trail. It is nice not smelling awful, though.
