Day 43
Miles: zero
Lake Isabella

Just food shopping and world cup games today. We send a box of food ahead to Independence and resupply for the two and a half days to Kennedy Meadows. This town is kind of beat… not near enough teeth to go around…

A fire starts in the evening, on the ridge behind the motel where we’re staying. The smoke plume gets bigger all evening – hope it doesn’t turn into something big.

We’ll get back on the trail tomorrow. I really need this rest day. I can pull water out of my well as fast as anybody, but I seem to be drawing it dry faster than I can fill it up. Hopefully I keep getting stronger.
