This was a much needed rest day for us. We haven't had a full day off in weeks. We slept in ( meaning 6am ), and went to breakfast at the nearby Brew Crew coffee house. We spent hours just relaxing at breakfast until Balance found a computer for customer use. Balance did all her Internet chores and then we met up with Sizzler to do our shopping. Both Gear and food shopping. Balance and I bought new shoes and socks among other gear. On to the supermarket and we loaded up on food for the next several days. The three of us then marched over to the Still Life Cafe loaded with 3 bags of groceries apiece and stuffed ourselves again. All hikers do this in every town they go into.

Y-Knots shoes that got replaced here in Mammoth. I didn't even buy these shoes. I got these shoes in a hiker box at Kennedy Meadows as my shoes were getting holes in them so I found this pair that someone was getting rid of. Now after the last 200 miles I have worn these out too.
Our long time hiking buddy ( Sizzler ) and Y-Knot having lunch at the Still Life Cafe. We have been hiking on and off with Sizzler since the 2nd day of our trip. We get along very well as we are close in age and hiking the same pace. Balance and I really enjoy being in the company of Sizzler.
