I was checking out the Burnt Rancheria to Pioneer Mail section for a hike with my scout troop next weekend.  At Pioneer Mail I found Damien, suffering from shin splints.  I ended up bringing him home for a week to rest up.  As I was leaving towards Burnt Rancheria, a group of 6 thru hikers came up.  BTW, there was about 10 gallons of water in containers at Pioneer Mail, even though the tank is not filled.  At Penny Pines (north of Oasis Springs) I met XKanuck.  There is a faucet at Penny Pines, only a few hundred feet after crossing the gate at the GATR road.  At Laguna, there were thru-hikers all over.  I met the Royal Norwegian Expedition... Jorn Henry Cristiansen, Thorbjorn Geirbo, Jan Christian Raastad.  We stopped by Warner Springs to check on Damien's resupply and make sure they would hold it for an extra week... there were thru-hikers all over!  Spoke with Stones and Cones (Jay Reynolds and Ken Hess).  Everyone said they were doing fine, and all seemed in high spirits.
