PCT Day 8 - Julian

We only have 5 miles on our plates today! And we reach our first real town: Julian.

Julian is known for a few things: 1. Taking care of PCT Hikers, 2. Their Pie's, 3. Apples, for said pies.

Julian was the cutest, I could have spent another day there if Joe allowed. Its a historic Gold Rush town, that is now turned touristy. We visited during their Lilac festival, so the whole town smelled like flowers, and pie.

Joe and I hitched for the first time in our lives. We stuck our our thumb, and about 10 cars later a beat up Jeep Grand Cherokee pulled over and we climbed in the empty back- no seats. This vehicle looked as though it had been rolled at least once, maybe more.
The steering wheel was completely sideways, the windshield cracked clear across and down... But Anne the driver was as sweet as... pie!

It ended up being a fine hitch.

For all my California lovers and residents and future visitors- put Julian on your list.
