\nWe took a side trail in to Sierra City and the closer we got to town, the higher the temperature went. Sierra City is a cute little town just a few blocks long. We stopped at the Red Moose Cafe for lunch and chatted with the owner for a while. He was really friendly, offering us little bottles of shampoo and soap for the public shower, which was freezing cold…but free!<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nWe resupplied at the super expensive store and hung out on the porch there with other hikers like Orca and a<\/span> guy named Cougar Bait so that we could use the wifi and pass the time. <\/p>\n<\/a>
\nKatie and Connor caught up with us there later in the day and we all camped behind the local Lutheran church, which offered a free place to tent. Small towns like these along the trail have been so amazingly accommodating…I have been grateful for their generosity. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
