    Miles hiked: 0
    Campsite: mushroom 🍄 city at VVR
    Weather: cold!
    One word to describe the day: relaxing!

    This morning I didn't really sleep in, my body has a natural alarm clock with the sun. I'll miss that! I was able to fully resupply out of the hiker box here! A full 8 day stretch. Pretty amazing and def saved me a lot of money! I even found some micro spikes in the hiker box which will be nice just for some piece of mind. Since it's been getting colder, the snow that is left will freeze. Many hikers are saying you can do it without spikes, but the reviews are mixed.

    I ate breakfast with some hikers, both are traveling nurses. Seems like a stressful but pretty great profession! We sat there and drank unlimited coffee that they made on a wood stove until it was time for lunch 😆.

    The rest of the day I just relaxed, got my resupply dialed, stretched, ate dinner and prepped for my final stretch to Mt Whitney! Also I just realized that I have officially hiked over 2100 miles as of now. I'm still amazed that I have done this but I feel so strong and proud. Feels good 💪
