Start: Reno
End: tentsite at mile 1163
Miles covered: 10 (+1 in town)
PCT mile marker: 1163/2652
Highlight: Lunch at IHOP. (Honorable mention: Sleeping in.)
Biggest challenge: Saying goodbye to my husband for another month. (Dishonorable mention: Constantly changing Amtrak delay. I bought a ticket for the train back to Truckee, supposedly leaving at 8:30am. When I saw that it was delayed until noon, I was initially pleased with the opportunity to sleep later. However, the delay kept growing. I eventually paid for a Lyft back to Donner Pass, and I was back on the trail at 2pm. The train left Reno at 5pm. Upon my request, Amtrak did issue a refund for my nonrefundable ticket.)
