0 miles

We zeroed today in tehachapi. We woke up early thinking we'd be hiking out, ate breakfast, and walked a mile through town to the post office. Unfortunately, our package wasn't there so we were forced I take a rest day in town, we were secretly thrilled. Having done all our town chores the day before, laundry and grocery store hopping, we had all day to relax. We ate candy and junk food laying I the hotel bed, only getting up to get more food or for a trip to the hot tub.

7 miles

(566 tehachapi to 573, a campsite in the trees we couldn't pass up)

We got our resupply box at the post office today, hooray!  We were planning on hustling to Kennedy meadows to meet clays dad on June 3rd but since we took yesterday off to wait for our box, we have to change our plan. We no longer have enough time to hike the 140 miles to Kennedy meadows before the third so we will meet him at the next road crossing only 80 miles away. So now instead of rushing, we have extra time. 

We are staying in town until 3:30, catching a bus to the trailhead. It's hot out and since we don't have to make that many miles each day we decided to wait until the heat of the day passes to start hiking. 

As we waited for the bus, we were offered a ride to the trailhead, people here are so nice to hikers. We started hiking at 4, it was still hot but cooled off quickly. We planned on hiking about 10 miles tonight but we are always lazy leaving town and called it quits for the night early.
