Day 18. Tuesday, July 7. 0 miles.

Physically I am feeling pretty fantastic. Covering up to 18 miles a day is getting easier as our pace has quickened. Our goal of making it to South Lake Tahoe is very much within reach.

Today was a zero day (i.e. giving the legs a break with zero mileage) in Mammoth Lakes, a skier/hiker/climber friendly town. My first shower in 10 days was not enough to get the perma-dirt rings off my ankles. Dangermouse and I ate a veggielicious lunch at The Good Life Café and bummed around town at the coffee shop, library, etc.

I think in total we have hiked about 250 miles (counting off trail miles) during our tour of the good life. While my back and legs are thanking me for the day off, I'm itching to get back on the trail and get to Yosemite.
