June 9 - Resupply and Friends

Wow. Still recouping from yesterday's 22 mile day.

PCT miles: 651.34 to 663.91
longitude/lat: 35.74297   -118.02403
UTM: 11S 407407    3955924N
Elevation: 5455

 We woke early as usual, but lazed a bit. Were surprised when Miriam's husband showed up instead of Miriam but very happy to see him. Yogi continued with her trail magic by cooking pancakes for the hikers-never had better pancakes in my life! We were excited to see Cookie Monster, Toaster, and Smudge before we left and to reconnect with Belgium Red and her companion  K-Pax. We ended up leap-frogging with them all day. They hike faster but about the same distance we do and have the same tastes as us so we ended up camping in the same area as well. We have more food than we'll need for this short leg, but that's okay! We are excited to be heading for KM and showers and laundry and a zero day! We anticipate it taking 3-4 days to get there. I'm really tired and anxious to go home-still homesick but overall, I am feeling better today even though my feet hurt. TBG keeps pretty quiet-he's not the whiner I am.

Going up? You bet!

Nature provides KOKO with plenty of heart-shaped  photo opportunities!

More and more rocks are being added to our trail every day.
