14 Miles
Up around 6, we headed to the shaded area where there were electric outlets for us to charge things. We plugged in our phones and then went to the restaurant again to eat breakfast. Coach, Juevos, and Gamechanger were already there. We sat and ordered. Mr. Brightside showed up a couple minutes later and sat with us. The service was much better this time and the food was filling. After eating, we bought our resupply, which was surprisingly good. Their selection was definitely influenced by hikers. Took our resupply over to the picnic tables near our tent to repackage and pack into our food bags. The alleged car-dwelling man sat at another table and tried to talk to us, but was speaking gibberish. We took more showers, mailed back our bear canisters, and tore down the tent. The shuttle was due soon, but we needed to individually request tickets in order to ride it. The wifi password was manually added to my phone by the attandent. I assume to keep it secret from non-PCT hikers. Ron showed up with the shuttle van and 10 hikers piled in. He took us back up to Sonora Pass where we then got back on trail. It was still only 10:30 so we had almost a whole day of hiking available. We rolled through the miles. Chatted with Tortoise a bit on the descent and then passed him later on. Our campsite had a good hangout spot with no mosquitos and a boulder to use as a backrest, so we made dinner and enjoyed being outside the tent. As the sun set it got colder and we had to get into our quilts for the night.
