(Stud) Today was our first official "zero day"--our first day off the trail. My brother-in-law leant us his car and we spent the day doing errands. Dwight bought a closed cell foam pad to replace his thermarest mattress which was at risk of being punctured from all the prickly things on the ground in this part of the country. We did laundry (it took 2 washings to get the dirt out), bought food for the next stretch of trail, and went to the library to print out the current water report for the PCT. We also put together our additional gear and food for Kennedy Meadows-which is the start of the high Sierra's. For that section we'll take warmer sleeping bags, ice axes & crampons, bug netting, and warmer clothing. We'll also be renting bear canisters for food storage--although after packing up our food for the first 6 days of the Sierras, I'm not sure it will all fit in the canisters even if we both carry one...so there will still be some logistics to figure out once we get t!
