8/20/2017 Zero at Olallie Lake Resort 

I won’t say a lot about today’s events since I am behind on my blog posts and this was a zero day. Most of the day we spent lounging around and buying food from the general store. We have become experts at doing nothing when nothing is required. 

The best part about the general store is that they have good, hot coffee.  Sherpa and I drank so much that our hands were shaking. 

The only thing special we did besides that and napping was to go to a smaller adjacent lake and swim and drink beer for an hour or so. I inflated my air mattress and floated around while Sherpa and Tofu sat and drank while lpoking on.  Gentleman, a hiker we originally met in Kennedy Meadows South, went for a long run.  He had 10 times the energy that I do but even so, when he came back he indicated that he thought it was a mistake and he was feeling exhausted. 

After our swim we simply hung out till bed time and chatted about the eclipse that would appear tomorrow.  

We went to bed rather early for a zero day and slept like little hiker babies.
