Showers Lake - South lake Tahoe 7/21/10 9 miles

had a great short walk this morning. We met "Hmmm." She is finishing up the triple crown (AT, CDT, PCT.) We walked with her and Kiwi after they stopped and talked with us at break. We walked into Echo lake at about 11:30am. Kristi and I raced to find the post office. She won. I got my smaller pack and some other gear from mom. We got our great box from Janeen, Kristi's cousin, though it took some work to find it. They had listed under the sender's name instead of ours. Wow. We ate a whole lot of junk food from the store and they caught a ride with Kiwi, a friend of his picked us up. We got dropped off at the Coyote's Den, which was super reasonable for Tahoe. The lady was very sweet, let Kristi use the Internet while I did the laundry and went shopping. A hot trip in rain pants. The owner then gave us a beer and a rum and coke. We went and ate at Tahoe pizza and it was great. I got stuffed off of spaghetti, and the salad bar. We talked about going to the casino, but went back to the room to let our food settle and passed out hard. It was a good and eventful day. -CM
