April 30, Day 31
Today the sun's shining, fortunately, though it's still quite cold. Sabine spent the morning getting a trim at the barbershop (Note from the translator: Brave girl!), following hiker buddy Downhill Mike, while Olli repaired his shoe with the help of dental floss and Uhu glue (a tip from French hiker Marie). Experience shows Trail Runners on average will last for 400 miles on the PCT, so they should be good for at least another 2-3 weeks.
Another jump in the pool with Downhill Mike; Sabine took a dip yesterday evening. Time to pack. A stop at the public library to copy material is scheduled on the way back to the trail; if that's not possible, the back-up drives will have to be copied in Wrightwood.
In an hour or two, it will be time to depart Big Bear. With full backpacks: 140 dollars can be really heavy!
Our two intrepid travelers may not have internet for the next days.
