Trail break

I made it to Sierra City, Cal. on May 25. Despite the very pleasant hiking conditions I was in need of a break. My hiking shoes were shot (over 750 miles and torn) and I somehow managed to get some dust in my right eye which got scratched.

Dory's high school friend Abby J and Mark came to my rescue, picking me up from Sierra City and bringing me to their home in Carson City NV via the REI in Reno.

I visited the doctor in Reno and learned I have a scratch on my conjunctiva (the white part of the eye). The doctor gave me a prescription for fancy eye drops. Fortunately it's a minor problem.
