Day 41: Zero in Kennedy Meadows

Memories from May 31

Having resupplied yesterday, I didn’t do anything today. I need to get in touch with two friends I’m meeting mid-Sierras but have no cell service, the payphone is broken (apparently a hiker fed it $2 in pennies), the general store won’t take money for the use of their phone, the only other public establishment (a bar restaurant called Grumpy Bear’s) is closed today, the internet cafe previously run by a trail angel names Tom was shut down, and the nearest town is 30 miles away. I’ve decided to hike the start of the Sierras with Flapjack and Hiccup at an easy pace and they’re leaving tomorrow so there’s no rush.
