Today was our reward for yesterday. It was an easy, sloping downhill hike to Tuolumne Meadows. It was supposed to be only 9 miles, but like most of the week, it ended up being longer...10.6 miles. About half-way down the trip Amie and I caught up with Chris and Caleb. Chris informed us of his foot problems... Plantar Fasciiltis. When it flares up, all you can do is stay off your feet. He decided to call off the rest of the hike for himself. I wanted be with my brother for the last couple of days, but Amie was majorly disappointed so I decided to finish the hike with her. We finished the 10.6 miles in record time averaging 2.6 miles per hour. Amie and I caught a ride with an older gentleman for the last 1.5 miles to the General store/Post Office/Burger Joint. I picked up my resupply from the Post Office and ordered a double bacon cheeseburger with fries and a glass of ice tea. Although the burger was great, the ice tea was what I craved for. I ended up drinking 7 glasses of it! We then plugged up our phones and batteries and headed to the campground to setup camp. They have a backpackers campground for only 6 bucks a day. This was a GREAT day and the hike through Lyell Canyon was beautiful along a slow moving river that followed us all the way to Tuolumne Meadows. You'll notice on the speed/elevation graph to the left the "hump" in speed when we got a ride.
