Up early and showered. Down to breakfast in the Best Western lobby with lots of other hikers. Most are taking a zero day except for Jersey Shore who is out the door early determined that a little snow wouldn't slow him down. We are sort of glad to see him go but at the same time hoping he'll be okay. Around 8:30 the hotel help comes in. One has agreed to ferry us to the trail junction just past Wrightwood is exchange for a few dollars. It's a great deal.
As we drive we pass the Mormon Hills, site of something special.
Brittany dropped the Fullers, Justin, and me off. It's ten miles to our campsite at South Fork. Off in the distance is snow and we are glad to miss it.
The day ended with new friends Eileen, Jay, and Cynthia; geologists. Eileen, whose project is to map past faults on the San Andreas, offers us beer and cuties, which we readily accept. She even brought fire wood. What an Angel!
That's Eileen hamming it up for the camera.
