[pct-l] seeking Special K- thanks!

Sweet,

Thanks for the info guys.  Postcards to Ben and Karen! 
Idyllwild was super pivotal for me.  I had a flare-up of an old neck injury a few days before hitting Hwy 74 and the Paradise Cafe (of yumness).  I spent SIX days off trail in Idyllwild (let's hear it for the Idyllwild Inn!) recouperating in major pain with swollen discs pinching a nerve down my arm.  Afterwards, I did the short 26 mi section from Devil's slide to hwy 74 SoBo... to see how my body was doing, and have an ez return to rest in Idyllwild if need be.  All was well, and Karen picked up me and my friend Annie at the Paradise, joined us for fish tacos, and let us clean up and crash at her house.  She gave us a ride back from Kickoff too.

She also brought us our food drop at I-10 saving us tons of time and hitch hassle.  AND brought extra fruit, chocolate, and huge muffins.  And lemonade.  What a great lady.  My friend Annie and her chatted a lot.

cheers
Wandering Dot.
