Had a kick ass day at KM with the homies. Woke up to a beautiful sunrise outside of Grumpy’s and headed there to wait til they opened. It was so nice knowing we were going to hangout there for a couple of zeroes.

Grumpy’s opened and we all piled in to get in line for the hikers breakfast with unlimited pancakes. It was delicious with this huge ass pancake that I could not finish. My favorite part was the diner style coffee that’s slightly burnt with unlimited refills. Loved it.

Overall great day of resupplying and getting ready for the Sierra. Fly even gave me a shakedown which was super helpful. He helped me pick out about 3 pounds of stuff to send home.

Had some drinks with folks and saw some familiar faces walk into Grumpy’s that I haven’t seen in a while. Overall great day.

Another wonderful day in KM. Woke up to another hiker breakfast situation and unfortunately couldn’t finish the massive pancake that lay before me. After breakfast, I went and did all the chores I needed to do like pack up all my stuff, get another days worth of food and then ship the old pack and the stuff home that I no longer need. So I hope... haha

Took one last shower in the outdoor shower which I loved and then we all headed to the general store to camp and get the free spaghetti dinner from legend. Ended up getting another awesome ride in the back on a truck with a group of people. That always makes my day.

The sphaggetti dinner was really nice. It was family style led by Legend. He made us go around and talk about the trail and how it’s been so far. He put us on the spot but I did enjoy hearing everyone’s narrative. Made me appreciate the folks I’ve been hiking with that much more. Very grateful and I hope this high continues with them. It reiterated my original reasoning for doing this; it’s the people. And now we are about to be in the Sierra! Feels like a new beginning. I really enjoyed how he ended the conversation with this is your story, make it as you will, do as you will and run with it.

Also a wonderful friend from home sent cookies! They were delicious! It was nice getting love from Home and sharing it with the crew.
