JMT Day 8- Rest Day at Red's Meadow

July 23, 2014

Showers! Laundry! Burgers! Pie! Relaxin! WOOT! Feels so good to be clean! So nice to smell good. My B.O. was out of control!

After a wonderful hot shower, I hung out in my rain gear while I waited for my clothes to dry. A bit awkward but I don't think I'm the first person to do this!

The Jackies decided to hang with us and take a rest day. It's been great to lounge around and just chill. We've been sitting by the store people watching and just relaxing. Got caught up on posting pics on Instagram. After lounging we headed back to camp to sort our resupplies. We have a TON of extra food. Again! Our appetites have come back a little but not enough to eat everything we sent ourselves. We also can't fit everything in our bear cans. We finally figured out our food and packed our cans. Then we tried to eat as much of the extra food as we could! We shared it with others too!

We chilled at the picnic table in camp all evening and into the night just chatting. And eating. We met a gal who was coming off the High Sierra Route, she had some very interesting stories to share. Snow and ice and wind and cold.

Nice to have a rest day and hang out! Red's is pretty nice, cafĂ© is expensive but I suppose that's to be expected. Jackie Sue hooked me up with a pretty braid after I washed all the dirt and grease out of my hair. Took 3 full washings of shampoo.
