Ridgecrest is a mid-sized city with a Naval station and a big main road, surrounded by mountains. It is kinda past it's prime too. At least, that's my 1.5 day worth of impression, which most likely is not very accurate. Anyway, I was here to clean up my clothes & myself, get some food supplies for the next 2 days, and otherwise, just give some rest too my feet & legs which is what I have done. And, of course, I ate & drank a bunch of fatty junk food 😃.
(I did eat almost the whole pint of ice cream in one sitting 😎)
Also stitched up a hole in my pants & reinforced the the backpack protective "skirt"
Not at all the cleanest work, but I just used the basic knowledge that my Mom taught me decades ago 🙂.
Now, to sleep in a soft bed and get going tomorrow morning back on the trail!
Goodnight from Ridgecrest, CA!
