"Resupplied in Julian today, pretty sweet. Stores had hella hiker deals." 4/4/22 7:16 PM
Well that report was quite an understatement. We started hiking at the crack of dawn down a 2000 foot descent to Scissor's Crossing, the access to Julian. The hike was pretty mellow, with tons of fighter jets flying low and fast overhead. A trail angel conveniently arrived at Scissor's Crossing just after us and gave us a ride into Julian, which was a great place to resupply and get reorganized. We were able to take care of a few tasks while in town: resupplying, eating a lot of food, and mailing out some equipment that we decided we no longer needed. The grocery store was decent and we were all able to get a solid resupply out of it. The post office was a bit out of town, but we made the trek regardless. The real highlight was the in town food. The deli had a $5 sandwich and chips hiker deal that I hit twice during our few hours in town. Additionally, one of the pie shops in town gave out a free slice of pie a la mode to hikers, which we all gratefully enjoyed while our electronics recharged. We left town in the evening and made it up a somewhat substantial climb before calling it for the day.
