Day 69 - Stressful Zero in Tahoe

Day 69 - Tuesday, July 3
South Lake Tahoe (1,092.9)
Miles today - 0

Days in town are supposed to be relaxing, but today was really stressful. After breakfast I went to the grocery store to buy 15 days worth of food. There were so many people there. The whole town is really busy because of the holiday tomorrow. I took all my food over to the post office, sorted it all on the floor, and packed up a box to send a couple hundred miles up the trail. I also sent my bear can home since I'm not required to carry it anymore. That's 2 1/2 pounds out of my pack!

Then I had to go to Staples for UPS shipping to send another package of food up the trail. The clerk there took forever and it wasn't until almost 3 pm that I was done my chores. Half the day was gone just like that.

Later in the afternoon Macho and I took the bus a few miles down the road to Stateline, Nevada. We hit up the buffet at Harrah's Casino. It was decent food and I definitely got my money's worth.

Then we went to see the movie Prometheus. It was some much needed entertainment.

This place will be crazy tomorrow and I can't wait to get out of here.
