Day 5: Grant made it to mile 78 and decided to get some rest in town. He waited under an overpass and a truck drove around 6-8 hikers into the nearest town which was 7 miles away from the trail.

He is making good time, but some of the hikers he started with did catch up today.

Feeling good physically. Sore in the evening, but he reports being surprised how quickly he recovers.

The hotel in town has raised the rates to 180 per night for a small room. Grant contemplating going back to the trail.
