A big river crossing today and after yesterday's lesson I ignored the logs across the river upstream and actually got my feet wet. It was scream- out -loud cold on the feet, at least for me.
I never expected this to happen, but those sunglasses I lost on the trail... Lunchbox, the guy who once hiked up a giant bladder of wine for people to share, he found them and delivered them to me personally! He is my PCT hero.
The lure of freshly prepared food and a free. beer at VVR was to tempting to miss, especially as we were getting short on food. Yogi's guidebook had put us off going there as it suggests it is overpriced. We found it cheaper than Kennedy Meadows and the food was great, the cooks clearly cared about what they served. All the staff were very friendly, great bathrooms, showers, and a hiker box from which we got enough snacks to last till we resupply in Mammoth.
Met Mave and Delaware Dave whom Katie knew from earlier on the trail. Had dinner together. River also joined us. Sadly she had just found out that 2 family members had passed away during the time we've had no cell service. Nice group.

Great views with no effort. Don't have to even try to keep up with you two. Dad and Ferg must be so gutted they can't be there with you. They reminisced for ages about their Nepal trips and these only lasted 23 days!
The third photo down was where I started crying thinking we were going to die. There was a raging water fall and only to tops of those rocks were showing. At the end of the last big rock was an open area we had to figure out how to cross. Fortunately some river savvy PCTers came by and showed us the way. I have never been so happy. So glad you are having a wonderful trip.
