PCT Day 19: Zero Day in Big Bear City

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 265.3

I washed my clothes last night and the laundromat was next door to a donut shop. Now that’s a combination that saved me a few steps.

Got down to freezing last night but I was toasty at the Inn.

Today’s task was to find replacement socks and gaiters that have worn out. Walked out and bussed to Big Bear Village – more mileage than yesterday but it doesn’t count! No gaiters to be had but Big 5 had socks.

Back to Thelma’s for chicken-fried steak, hash browns and English muffin. Do I mention food a lot?

Mrs. Haze insisted I weigh in although I have paid more attention to calories compared to last year’s hike. Found a scale at Nature’s Inn and the loss is 10 lbs. which includes some good meals and junk food in the last 24 hours. Seems about right for me at this point.
