A 30 mile day; holler, at, your boy

Day 25, Mile 430.7 - I got some pretty decent sleep last night, only problem was another thru-hiker showed up last night and we thought he would tend the fire since he was sleeping right in front of it, but he did not. So it got a little chilly, that seems par for the course the last few days. We left camp Glenwood about 620 and got into camp here at messenger flats about 710, 30 miles later. It was a long 30 miles with two big climbs and walking in melting snow for the first 4hrs. We were all kind of equally amazed we pulled it off, now its only 24 into Agua Dulce tomorrow. It was a good day all around though despite the arduous journey. Only about 4 miles into the morning and we came upon a cache with fruit, bad energy bars, Gatorade, wine, beer, and cherry pie. We each had a slice of cherry pie and took some of the various other things. I don't even like cherry pie, but i thought it would probably be a good calorie boost, and it was. At the 18 mile mark at a trailhead a man who rode by us earlier up on a ridge offered us some snacks and Pepsi's. It's amazing what strapping a pack on your back and smiling can do to get people in the giving mood. We got into camp and it is really cold and we are basically inside a cloud. I'm getting used to the cold now and the fact that I'm now in my sleeping bag and still cant really feel my toes doesn't seem that alarming. Also yesterday was a good break, because i had no shin splint like pain at all today. I just woke back up its been about 6 minutes, i should probably do what my body says and continue that trend. Plus my tent is starting to dew up as it does, and i would like to try and be asleep before i start noticing drips here and there. Thought of the day; didn't have one that stuck with me. Songs of the day; oh mister sun, sun, mister golden sun pleaaase shiiine down on me-and repeat, by Barney and friends i think. In those last 5 miles it was- that's the sound of the men working on the chaaaiin gaayeeeyang, don't know who that's by. Craving of the day; it got specific- pizza topped with chicken, bacon, mushrooms, and pineapple. Hopefully that will be satiated tomorrow in Agua Dulce. Oh wow i can feel my toes finally; goodnight.
