June 27, 2008 Pacific Crest Trail

Destination: Mammoth Lakes
Miles: 3


Adrian:
We arrived Red's Meadow, a resort close to Devil's Postpile National Monument, to catch the bus to Mammoth. We got there are 8:30 a.m. and the bus showed up 15 minutes later.... nice! Overdose was there and so was Ninja, and we got caught up with them.

It costs $7 each to get to the ski area and from there a bus takes you to the village for free. It's a wonderful bus system and runs regularly.

Mammoth is changing and the whole village has been redone with the arrival of the new village gondola. It's nice though!

The Motel 6 is our home and we have our bounce box here as well. We missed shipping it out on time but Christian will ship it on Monday. Thanks Chris!

Kirsten:
Another milestone has been reached with our arrival today in Mammoth Lakes. The town is picturesque and has everything you could want - namely good restaurants, coffee shops and a grocery store to buy more grub. Adrian's college roommate, Christian, lives here with his wife and we hope to connect with them tonight for dinner.

For now, we're busy running errands, stuffing our faces and cleaning up our packs. I've been in town for about four hours and have already had a huge amount of jalapeƱo bread from the famous Schat's bakery, a BLT and avocado sandwich with fries and an endless supply of iced tea-lemonades - my favorite drink - at the Good Life Cafe. As usual I have made myself ill by eating too much.
