(Dr Bug) Slept late behind Kennedy Meadows General Store. Morning temp was 42. The 20 degree sleeping bag was great, I was toasty warm all night. STUD spent the morning packing and reorganzing her cold weather items and her just arrived heavy duty pack. We ate breakfast out of the general store. We mailed home our warm weather gear. We had a burger at the grill at 11, then used the internet at the new internet trailer--an old Airstream located near the general store where some folks have set up 3 or 4 internet connected laptops that hikers can use for a donation. After cleaning the tarp we decided to leave; there was nothing left to do (3 pm).
We hiked about 9.5 miles into the Sierras before making camp in some soft pine needles. Our food bags are extra large. The tree branch I hung the food on nearly broke from the strain.
I only saw coyote scat once today. Normally in the high desert and desert areas it is all over the place. Not sure what this indicates.
Many of the hikers in front of us have replaced their shoes. It is now difficult to know who is in front of us by the boot prints on the trail.
