Day 10- April 29th

Man today was so nice! What a difference between walking 18 miles and siting on my butt doing not much at all! 

The resource center at Warner Springs continues to be awesome! Claire and I patched up our blisters, and then ate some breakfast consisting of a huge bag of yummy granola that some hiker left in the hiker box. Then we rinsed out some of our dirty clothes and hung them to dry on the fence.

Quickest dryer ever!! 

An hour later we hitched a ride 1.4 miles down to the Post Office. (Yes I know that 1.4 isn't that far to walk but it's our zero day, not our 2.8 mile day!!

We got to the PO and excitedly went in to receive our cookies that our friend Christine had sent us. Sadly, they weren't there. :( I sent her a message and she said she would find out what happened.

We went into the next door country club restaurant and oh man we ate! I got a $12 cobb salad and was very pleased when this showed up:

Claire had ordered a smaller salad, and then we got a 12 inch pizza!! Yeah, we ate! We saw a bunch of people there and  had some good food over some good company.

Claire, Patrick, Daniel, and I. (I know, selfie game strong with this one)

At the restaurant I called Dave from Laguna to tell him about the broken stove. He was so nice about it and said he'd send me a better one to Idylwild (71 miles away) and it would get there by Monday! :)

After that we hitched back to te resource center and we had a package! Crystine had driven to Warner springs, located the missing package, and came looking for us at the Center to personally deliver it! We missed her since we were still at the restaurant...

Thanks Crystine!!!

For dinner the school was having another special; this time, a taco, beans, and chips for $4! Everyone was stoked and the tacos went down fast!

Typical hiker table! Claire, Ben and John on left. Orion on the right.

We last saw Orion about 4 days ago, and we were glad when we saw him stroll into town earlier today! 

Yay Orion!

Well after another Epsom salt foot massage bath (so spoiled), a liiiitle more blister care, and one of the awesome cookies that Crystine sent, we are prepped for bed and well rested. We're ready to hit the day early tomorrow, crossing fingers for non-swollen blisters.. 71 miles to Idylwild!
