We're in Kennedy Meadows. We put in an easy (aside from battered feet) 12 miles or so to get here, and here we are now. Our winter gear has arrived, including my ice axe, which is monstrous. From here, we enter the Sierras, but first we are going to take a day or two to heal. There's a general store here, and that's about it, but all the other hikers have managed to turn the place into some sort of compound. Tents are everywhere, and the air is thick with the odor of people who have not showered in at least a week (Me!).
The market/store place is super expensive. I mostly raided hiker boxes for today's and tomorrow's dinner. Jerry bought beer, a 12-pack of Natural Ice and a 12-pack of Keystone Light. I am drunk. Goodnight!
