Santa Cruz, CA
6/12/04
I'm waiting in Santa Cruz for Walter to pick me up. He'll drive me to the San Jose airport early tomorrow morning.
I'm serene, but exhausted. My food boxes are done, thanks to the direct help of David and Tom. The food got packaged with the help of Jean, Ferne, David, Mark G., and Richard S. Friend and fellow backpacker Robin provided a home while I did all this in San Francisco.
Today I cracked a crown and half of it came out. We'll see where that leads. Earlier in the week I broke the key in the lock in the back of my Subaru. Luckily, I'd already done most of my moving and hauling, so getting around not being able to use the back hatch wasn't a huge problem.
My car is parked in my mother's side yard in Del Rey Oaks, California. The people she bought the house from had an RV, and this is where they stored it. I'm thankful to have an easy place to store my car, and to have my mom involved in some way in my latest adventure. Thanks Mom!
I'm particularly thankful to Matt (Iron Chef, PCT 2002) who's handling my resupply. He lives close to the place where my stuff is stored in San Francisco, so most of my resupply boxes are there. He'll drop by, pick a few up, and send them to me along the way.
