Day 30

0 miles

A good portion of the day was spent trying to figure out a ride around the fire closure and then figuring out our resupply strategy up to Kennedy Meadows. Mountain Hardware is primarily a hardware store, but carries a ton of hiker supplies and is the hub for all things PCT in Wrightwood. We grabbed phone numbers from their list and by signing their register they have us PCT pins. Score! Headed back to the room and did laundry in the tub, refilled various things out of the bounce box, and cleaned out my cooking pot and spoon. We intended to get a steak dinner, but struck out on that (two towns in a row!) and got burgers instead from the bar next door. While waiting for our food we heard back from Brian, a trail angel, who agreed to take us up to Acton around the closure. That was a bit further up than we wanted, but beggers can’t be choosers. We got our food, felt more relaxed now that we had a ride arranged, and settled into our room for the night.
