Although we had a full rest day yesterday, we decided that taking another partial day to rest-up, eat, and prepare for the mountains was a good idea. We had breakfast in Kennedy Meadows at a restaurant called Grumpy Bear’s, and then we went to the outfitter to buy fanny packs and some more snacks. Eventually, we “slack packed” a couple of miles down the trail to get out of town and will resume full days of hiking tomorrow. Slack packing is when somebody drives your pack ahead and you walk the trail packless. Hiking without packs was amazing, but it only lasted a few miles. This has been a fun weekend of rest, but we’re ready to get back into our hiking groove tomorrow.
