Later in the morning we arrived at the trail angel house. We had been warned that they accept no more than 50 hikers. As we had already done our laundry and weren't particularly tired, we were prepared to move on. However, there was enough space for us in cots in marquees in their back yard. Also, they were doing an REI run and I needed to try on shoes..
We settled in, met Billionaire and Colin (from our Wrightwood cabin and hotdog nights) Sunset, Seeds and Pins, Smiles and Slosh and lots of others we'd met before. We spent a little time with the horses and met Rafiki, a really interesting woman from Alaska who owns huskies and flies around in helicopters doing archaeological stuff for the military.
The REI run was at 1pm. So 14 of us got in the van and had a day trip. First, to REI where Tracy bought a pair of shoes and I of course had trouble getting my size in any shoe I liked. I finally narrowed it down so that I was pretty confident that if I ordered a certain shoe online it will probably fit.. From REI we stopped off at In n Out, a well known great burger joint. I took advice from Boyscout and Billionaire and ordered the "Double Double, animal style", with side of fries and strawberry milkshake. Was not disappointed. This was a "tight ass" choice.
Came back and got on the computers for a while. Was able to finally upload pics. Check out two new albums. Looking forward to getting my new camera. Hung out with cool kids Seeds, Pins and Sunset at the tech table. Another hot shower. Thinking we'll leave tomorrow afternoon so we can fit in a cycle to the pastry shop. Naughty!
