Day 17 - Twin Lakes

The guys put in a short hiking day today. It was only 6 miles to their resupply at The town of Twin Lakes. They got to the general store where the met up with Jean, their resupplier. She drove them about 6 miles to a little hotel called Miramar that the trail guide book mentioned would let hikers shower and wash their clothes. When they got to the hotel they met the new owner who had no idea about the guide book or the offer of showers! The new owner opened one of the old cabins and let the guys shower for $10.00 each. Their laundry cost $1.00. Dave was so happy to be clean again! Dave was able to charge all his electronic devices and was able to download the waypoints to his GPS for the next third of the trail thanks to Jean and her laptop. Dave said that Twin Lakes reminds him of Big Bear but with bigger mountains. It was overcast and looked like rain, but it was beautiful! Jean had a camp site and is letting Dave, Trevor, and Tennile camp with her. Tomorrow they will walk around the lake to get back to the trail. They are planning on a 15 mile day. Thanks Jean for your help today! Thanks to all the resuppliers! It's nice to know that the guys (and dog) are so well taken care of. Jane
