PCT Day 78: Mile 1396.8 to 1412.0

July 19th, 2018

New shoes for me today! We had to stop at Burney Mountain Guest Ranch to pick them up. It was another hot day, so we were happy to take a long afternoon break to shower, do laundry, and eat a lot in addition to picking up the shoes. I was supposed to get new shoes over 200 miles ago, but they didn’t get to our resupply stop on time. So then I was supposed to get shoes 60 miles ago, but they ran out of my size. Finally I had to order a different model, so hopefully they’ll work out. My old ones ended up having almost 1,000 miles on them. They had holes and no cushioning left.
