5-28
Today was a good zero in Independence, CA. Slept in, ate well, had a beer or two, got a few days of food, and did the most dangerous thing I have done on the PCT. The van ride up to the trail was a curvy steep road up about 7000 feet, maybe. The hotel/Chevron/Subway owners were nickel-and-diming us on certain things, one of the main ones was trying to charge 25$ per hiker for a ride back to the trail, so I went out and waved down a van that looked like a local and said 40$ for a bunch of hikers to pile in for a ride up to the trail. It was an adventure, to say the least. At the trailhead we got lazy and had some more beers and Subway, and chatted, then walked up the trail a quarter mile so we didn't have to pay for the campground (16$ each).
