A couple of zero days at home.

Spirit, Nike and I decided to take off a few days ... it was fun to show them Redlands ... a little hot tubbing... a quick drive back to Idyllwild to the gear shop (my metal stay came through my pack bottom and has been poking me in the rear for a few dozen miles) and to pick up Nickles, now Friar Tuck. Spirit and I also did some trail magic giving rides to a few hikers that skipped the fire closure and were walking down hwy 243.

It has been nice to have some down time and let our bodies recuperate... but we are all itching to get on trail tomorrow.

Next stop Big Bear....
