Zero town day in Big Bear. I made some porridge when I woke and called Marcus for a chat, I miss him lots and it's nice to see his face on the call although it's hard because I think he finds the calls hard. I wish he could come out earlier and for longer or just join the trail to be honest but I know that's not realistic and planning his trip around the snow off the Sierras is tricky this year and I can't help but feel bad about that. Hopefully soon Ill know more about what's going on and we can plan the trip properly and get excited for it. I want to share all the good and hard bits with him but sometimes worry I'm asking too much. After an hour and a half his phone battery died and I walked into town to meet Yeehaw (Tito), Shortcut (Eleanor) and Fashion (Floris) at the smoothie place for another green juice - "avo-bliss" going to miss that drink for sure. We bought gas from the camping shop and I picked up my ice axe from the post office. I got a tasty vegan crepe one the way back to the house and we then headed out to the shops to resupply. In the morning I had number into Christina, Sassy and Conor as they arrived in town so after shipping I went to meet them and Andrew along with their new hiking companion Boomerang (Natalie, Oregon) at the brewery. Yeehaw and Shortcut joined a little later. We went for dinner at a Mexican Restuarant and had the largest cocktails. We all went back to the house and played some games and water Netflix before heading to bed.
