Day 49 (June 9): A zero in Kennedy Meadows

Saturday we spent some of the day organising supplies and trying to get all our food into our bear canisters. We were camped out behind the general store with lots of other hikers.


We had some great food at the general store including burgers for lunch and a pot luck dinner home cooked by several of the locals in Kennedy Meadows. I met some of the town's friendly people as well as some new hikers. I also met a young guy


We also spent some time at Tom's place. He is a trail angel with a bunch of trailers at his place where hikers can come and stay. He has internet and shows movies on a big screen at night. Pretty cool place to hang out.


Late afternoon Rian,Gnu and myself walked down to the river. I had a quick swim and Gnu tried a few casts with his fly fishing rod but didn't catch anything that day.


Pineapple and Express, a couple from Hawaie with whom we have hiked much of the way, were also in Kennedy Meadows. It was good to see them again after they went off the trail for a while. They left on the Saturday but we hope to catch up with them again.
