Day 5 update

Well, this is Jayne here blogging for Marc. He is having problems with his phone although no one else seems to be. It sounds like he is going to try to rent a phone from a carrier who gets reception up in the mountains better... Arg.  Marc made it to mile 96 last night (Tuesday) and was hoping to be in Warner Springs, CA tomorrow which would make it mile 110. He has been booking it so far, and seems to feel great. His feet were sore one of the days, but his friend Nate met him on the trail with some Weekend Warrior from Sister Sage....no blisters. 
 Sounds like Idlewilde has a nice Farmers' Market if he hits it on the right day- nevertheless he will find nice organic veggies at most of the stops. After that Big Bear is his nex stop @ mile 265. He has been going with the food he brought with him on the plane and supplementing with fresh veggies & cheeses. Apparently the first thing he ate on the trail was Miner's lettuce and because of all his great hand made food, his trail name is "gourmet"! That's my guy!

I will try to blog when he can't. If anyone wants to send him a package send it to Marc Fendel c/o General Delivery Big Bear City CA, 92314. check the spreadsheet for the next drop and comment here so he/we knows.
peace,
Jayne
