A sorely needed rest day. I got up and donned only my waterproof trousers and down jacket – everything else went in a black sack. My first shower in a week made me more palatable and once my clothes were washed and tumble dried I went straight to breakfast – but still in my waterproof trousers and downie!
The Red Kettle gave me unlimited coffee and a breakfast burrito of immense size!
It was gorgeous but took me 30mins to eat! Just what I needed to help repair aching muscles.
I spent most of the day either in the library catching up with peoples donations or wandering around in the warm.
But then, one of the best moments of my life happened, I met the Mayor of Idyllwild, Max:
I kid you not, this Maximus Mighty-Dog Mueller, II, actual Mayor!
He has two canine deputies who I will hopefully meet tomorrow.
Also met again these lovely fellows
Hadn’t seen them since very early on the trail.
Another day of recuperation tomorrow. I already have a lift to the trailhead arranged for Monday 😁
