Day 81

Town day! Hero-ed Kennedy Meadows North. Had a beautiful 7 ish miles to get to 108 Sonora Pass.

We got a ride down to KMN Resort, which isn’t really a town but is a dude ranch/outdoors resort. It is a very common stop for PCT hikers as it splits Mammoth and Tahoe.

I was quite happy with the offerings and prices, a surprise for me since things have been a bit bare and expensive lately.

Got a shower, laundry, and shuttle arranged before having a hearty breakfast of steak and eggs with Spicy, Hatchet and Kidnapper.

The resupply was missing some of my staples like ruffles chips and hostess treats, but they had spam packets and tuna in sunflower oil, two essentials that smaller resupplies often do not have.

By the time I was repacking my resupply, the morning shuttle had dropped off a load of hikers. It was very hectic and overwhelming.

At stop’s pass, I’ve felt like I’ve known most of the people around but since the Sierra, people have naturally shuffled with different paces, so I know fewer faces.
