Journey Day 43 | PCT Day 43

5/29/85

Up and off. Into town. Tent not at post office. We head to Camelot, cheapest rooms in town, bathroom down the hall, dormitory style. Upon entering town, eat omelette breakfast at the Town Center Café, then take four 25 cent hamburgers to the room.

Afternoon spent trying to locate my tent. Frustrations of the city resurface but I maintain. Make preparations for another long stretch. Shower a nice diversion, but we’ll be dirty again soon.

Good talk with back home and Midland Reporter Telegram staffers. I do miss my friends.

It will be about a month until I hear any of these voices again. Phones are scarce in the Sierras.

Stay up too late after almost falling asleep until Taxi came on. Then Saturday Night Live with the original cast, including Belushi. Party and talk until it’s too late.
