We stayed at Church of Glad Tidings in Yuba City, CA for our first stop after SF. I kind of talked about Day 1 already, so I’ll skip over that (it was mostly uneventful besides Van 2 being the best van). Below are some pics from Day 1 that didn’t make the first post!
Ok, so, Day 2. I was partnered with Regi, a homie from Hagerstown, MD. We ran through (some of) the desert of Eastern California. That’s pretty much all there is to say! It was (mostly) flat and absurdly hot, getting up to 105° by our last leg. We felt every single degree, haha.
We arrived at Red Bluff Presbyterian Church where we were taken care of by a lovely woman named Jackie. She made us a huge, communal salad with pretty much anything you would want to add in to it. Before dinner a bunch of us went over to the (free!) local pool. There was a group of tough looking ~11 year olds on the diving boards and one of them claimed he could do a DOUBLE backflip. We obviously didn’t believe him so we challenged him to prove it and holy cow, this unathletic-looking kid made us eat crow. Kid should be a gymnast.
After dinner, John-Hanson and I went to a local watering hole, Tips of Red Bluff, for some libations. We met a bunch of people there and told them about 4K, which they were all really into. John-Hanson and I wound up dedicating our Day 3 miles to some of their loved ones. Seamless transition to Day 3!

So far all of our hosts have had great shower facilities! In years past people have also bathed in lakes and rivers, so I have biodegradable soap if we wind up doing that
