Day 103: Fourth of July!

Stealth Campsite at Mile 1406.2  to Clarence Fahnestok SP-17.6 miles

I woke up and knocked out the first ten miles or so. I then came to a road crossing with a wonderful little convenience store and deli. I got chicken with mushrooms and cheese on a bed of rice! Wonderful! We sat and ate with the other thru hikers and discovered we were in a new bubble like we had expected. Ahh well. I made some new friends and had a great lunch. When we reached the SP we found an enormous beach with several large families bustling to put away their picnicking supplies. I asked the employees to the park where camping was and they said .4 away across the street. These campgrounds were wonderful. There was a shower, toilets, and running water. The backpacker sites were just converted car camping sites. In the end 5 of us shared a site and had a crackling fire with the sound of fireworks going off in the distance.

Yes, your looking at the trail.
