Day 13 : Idyllwild & My First Zero. 162.6 + Alt mile 15.4 (0.0)

Kevin Silvernale April 27, 2016

I slept in. Woke up at like 7:00. Hung around camp figuring out how I was going to organize my day. First, shower. It was the greatest shower of my life.    Second, laundry. I decided while I wait for it to wash, I could buy my resupply food and be back right as it was finishing up. Put the clothes in the drier and went back to camp.  

       

        I bought so much food that I almost continuously ate for the rest of the day.  Wondered the town then went to the library to use their wifi and upload pictures to Dropbox. Only got about 150 of 480 uploaded before I decided to head back to camp. Not too many people where there, so I took a nap while the rest of the pictures uploaded using my cell data.  Took some time to organize my food. Had to figure out what needed to be eaten before I hit the trail tomorrow. In the end gave 2 of 4 pudding cups to Bacon, who had his tent next to me, in exchange for a cookie and a bunch of alcohol swabs (I was almost out of them after cleaning some small blisters during the first few days on the trail). Threw some food in the hiker box and took a couple Tuna packets.

As the evening rolled in, I took my second shower of the day. Relaxed around the camp till I was cold, then bed.
