The original idea was to stay one night at Kennedy Meadows North and then head out this morning. However Mother Nature had different plans with the weather forecast calling for rain and high winds on the trail the whole day. So a lot of hikers, incl me, decided to stay back here one more night. The dorm room bed was comfortable and it was right above the lobby with the small store with snacks and drinks as well as the restaurant right next to it. The showers were hot and nice. And the whole package incl bed, showers, laundry & WiFi was $50/night. Not a bad deal, with the only issue being the very weak & flaky WiFi. Managed around it.
So, as you can see, I ate a whole lot of food and essentially stayed in the room the whole day, resting my legs. There was really nothing else to do which was good. As I mentioned in one of my previous post, zero days in town get very busy and this was the first zero day that was almost complete rest and relaxation. Loved it!
And in the evening, lo & behold Guy came in along with Cinnamon (another thru-hiker who I had met earlier and who was hiking at a similar pace as me). It was great to see them. But they have had a terrible time y'day and today on the trail with heavy rain, cold and strong winds. Glad they made it in safely!
So, all in all, the most restful day in the last 51 days and ready to hit the trail again tomorrow!
