Log: Day 113 - Mile 906.6

August 3, 2016

The next day held a town run into Mammoth. Katy and I took the bus down from Red's, Sadie having opted to hang out at Red's for the day. She needed to see an orthodontist for an emergency retainer repair but didn't have an appointment yet, everywhere having been closed the night before when we got in. I just needed to resupply and hit up the post office and could do that once she had an appointment. We headed to Mammoth Brewery for food a drink while she made some calls.

Her appointment wasn't until around 3:00pm so we ended up hanging out at the brewery for a few hours before she left to head over to her appointment. I took care of shipping some gear back and calling my family. I updated my mom on the latest developments with my plans and when I thought she might be home. Talking through things with her I realized that Katy and Sadie's itinerary wouldn't give me very much time at home with my sister before she left for her first year of college. It also meant I would definitely miss her performing in a summer opera. I made the decision that it was more important to be home with her before she left than to take the rest of the trail slow. Time to pick up the pace.

Katy's appointment took longer than expected and what was originally going to just be a morning in town turned into a full zero day. We caught the bus back up to Red's early evening, met up with Sadie, grabbed dinner at the restaurant, and squeezed into camp for another night.
