Today I slept in until 6:15, boy howdy, what a slugabed!
It was a relaxing day, we laid by several lakes on the way out towards Kearsaege Pass. I even spent a little time fishing and caught a little brook trout in Bullfrog lake.
As I met WeeBee on the top of the pass, we began to fantasize about food. We knew that there wasn't much in Independence except for a Chevron, a post office, a Subway, and a few hotels so our fantasies revolved around sandwiches with bacon and avocado. A nice couple at the top gave us little packets of baby food which were actually pretty good, although the weight to calorie ratio wasn't great.
We raced down the last 5 miles, dreaming of guacamole. When we got to the parking lot, a woman, who I though was Runs with Elk, waved us over and asked if we wanted anything, anything being salad, beer, soda, vegetables, Cheetos etc. Blue Sky was up from LA trail angeling for the day. We hung out with her and a few othwr theu hikers for a few hours. She was a god send and even gave us a ride to town. Thanks so much Blue Sky!!!
We got to town and decided to treat ourselves to a cabin at Mt. Williamson. It was totally worth it. We had taco truck tacos and ice cream for dinner. Yummy.
Tonight we are stayig with WeeBee's friend in Independence as the weather up in the mountains was pretty nasty looking. After another taco truck dinner and a fresh apricot dessert, we retired to our sleeping bags. We should be out on the trail tomorrow provided the weather improves.
