Zero at Tom's

June 3rd, 2012
Day 64
Today's Miles: 0

This morning we woke up after a fun night and were eagerly anticipating going through all of our gear for the Sierras. But out of the gate we had to head over to the general store for all you could eat pancakes.

After breakfast we finally popped open our package and began the debate of all debated this year on the trail....ice axe or no ice axe? We decided to send our axes home and carry our micro spikes. Along with those, we picked up our bear canister, alpine gators, my fly fishing gear, and food. We also got our sleeping bag liners but bounced those to Lone Pine.

After our chores we hung out at the general store for a while and enjoyed a beer and a burger.

It was $3 for an outdoor shower, and well worth it.

After a relaxing afternoon, we got to eat tacos at Tom's place (Twist managed to choke down 7, while I had 6). To put it simply, they were awesome. After dinner we enjoyed another movie (Zombie Land) in the outdoor amphitheater and got to bed somewhat early so we would be fresh for our first day out of Kennedy Meadows.

Thanks again to Tom and everyone at the Kennedy Meadows General Store for all the hospitality!
