No, that's not what one gets in Sierras. Before entering the Sierra Nevada, there was the small matter of picking up resupply at Kennedy Meadows General Store. Headed out from campsite and got to the trailhead where very fortunately a pickup van had just dropped off some hikers. The van was going back to Grumpy Bears Resort where I wanted to get breakfast (it is sort of a thing-to-do on PCT now). Hopped in the back and after picking up some hikers, reached GBR.
No breakfast yet as it was only 7:30 am. Paid for WiFi and checked email & messages. Restaurant opened at 8:30 & there was a big line of hikers waiting to order.
Finally, got my Hiker's breakfast which is what you see at the top. Btw, it is all you can eat pancakes. I finished 80% of the first one 😋.
Got a ride back to Kennedy Meadows General Store - this time in the front of the pickup truck with a weed-smoking driver 😀.
Had 2 boxes of resupply (shipped by Ravin) & 1 bounce box (that I had shipped from Wrightwood with stuff I didn't need then).
Unpacked all, changed to my old backpack (since the newer one that I had been using all these days would not work with the bear canister that's mandatory to carry for the next 200 miles).
Since it was still afternoon, I figured I might as well get a start into the Seirras.
Stopped after only a few miles as I still needed to get used to carrying the heavy pack and the next site was a bit far off.
Oh! Btw, crossed this in the morning.
