Quick resupply in Bridgeport from Sonora Pass part 1

Last night I counted up my food I had left to do the 90 miles remaining to Echo Lake. Hhhhhmmmmmmmm.... I guess I have been eating more than hiking lately.... 3 Days of food.... well, 3 hungry days anyway.... 3 back to back 30 mile days... hungry days that is... guess I best deal with the tough hitch and get more food. So here I sit in little Bridgeport, fresh out of the grocery store with double what I needed and with a belly full of burger and fries - my first lunch - I'll hit up the Mexican joint next. Hitching the 35 miles took about 4 hours... eventually Trashman and myself got a ride down the mountain in the back of a truck, ducking down twice as we passed highway patrol. The next ride was harder to get, but luckily Tigger and Chuck Norris' hiker support van came by and picked us up. It's not THE Chuck Norris, but their trail magic seems about as super human. They hike about half the time while others drive the van around helping others and running hiker errands.
