Day 70- June 28th

Today was a zero day in Lone Pine. I know we've been taking a lot of zeros recently but when your body is hurting or recovering its best not to push it. We'll soon be back on our feet!

Luckily Lone Pine is a pretty small place so nothing was more than a 5 minute walk away from the Dow Villa. I gathered all our dirty laundry and went outside in my rain gear to the laundromat which is literally across the street. 

Claire went to the store and got a yogurt and an apple because wasn't very hungry thanks to that giant burrito yesterday. I on the other hand had appetite in full force, so after running into Ben the Gladiator outside of our hotel, I decided to join him for breakfast.

$10 cinnamon roll French toast with eggs and bacon! (And a chocolate milkshake of course.. (Slurped down too fast for proof))

After laundry was done we headed to the Post Office and picked up packages from each of our moms. They sent us so much food it was crazy! Between what they sent us and food some other hikers had given us when we were low, we had 1/2 the next stretches' food!

This is my food BEFORE grocery shopping here in Lone Pine 

We headed back to the store and supplemented our food with some store-bought items. Man, what we gained by not having to buy as much food we lost by the priciness of the items there. The store was not cheap!

This next stretch is 125 miles for us into Mammoth Lakes. It's a long ways, but again, just like leaving Kennedy Meadows, we'll be carrying extra food. Also I don't think we'll be getting sick this time.

I was on Facebook today and found someone offering a ride to the trailhead tomorrow so I think we'll be taking them up on that offer. Most likely we'll be hiking again by 2pm! Canada here we come!
