Today's miles 0. AT miles 1887
Today turned out to be a good day to take a rest day, temperatures reached 91°F/33°C with high humidity too. These are valley temperatures it would have been a bit cooler in the mountains but still very hot for hiking. We had breakfast at the motel then caught a bus out to Walmart two miles away to do our food resupply. The locals were shopping in preparation for July 4th celebrations in two days time, lots were also walking out with electric room fans, its obviously too hot for them too. Walmart over here sells everything, this store had canoes and pedalos for sale.
Milk Monsta and Pillow carried on hiking today. Wall-E had a shuttle booked for 3pm to take her to the next trail town so left her bags in our room after she checked out. After food shopping Wall-E joined us and we went to McDonald's for lunch and to use their WiFi services again, the motel WiFi is very temperamental. I managed to get all our blog posts up to date and Skype home. Back at the motel Wall-E got her shuttle, hopefully her feet get better soon and we'll see them all again before we finish, you never know with this trail, itineraries and plans change all the time.
We didn't do much the rest of the day, we sorted our trail food into daily meals and then had afternoon snoozes. It rained late afternoon/early evening but no thunderstorms as predicted. The next couple of days are forecast 50% chance of thunderstorms/rain showers, hopefully we won't get too much rain, it's still going to be warm though.
