We took two zeros in Big Bear Lake, 1 intentional and the other not so intentional. During he morning of the first day we got chores done like washing clothes etc. After that he general consensus was that we would try and rent a cabin somewhere for he second night so that we could have a full kitchen and use it. So we did, an it was great. Six of us ; myself, Mr Green, Kat, Jason, Adam & Whispers pooled our money and found a great little place and ate like kings. Mr Green cooked the biggest steaks of all time for dinner, and i introduced the Americans to the Full English he next morning, there was even Guinness HP sauce courtesy of one Sophie Hardwood who sent it to me in Idyllwild and I have been carrying it with me ever since waiting for the ideal time to use it. Mm mm. The morning after, we did final post office related chores and returned to he hostel where apparently a ride would take us back to the trail for mid afternoon. In the short interval between us deciding to try and sooner rather than later, and me going to enquire about a ride from the hostel manager, someone bought a case of beer, and that was the end of the days hiking plans. A few more cases of beer later, and we were back in the dive of a bar we were at the first night we arrived for surprisingly good food and unsurprisingly bad kareoke from he locals. Again like the first night we are back in back by half ten determined to get a full days hiking done the next day.

That Sophie Hardwood sounds like one super gal...
ReplyDeleteUnintentional zero day - call it what you like Pad, but I think deep down you know you were indulging in a spot of Griffing...
