Day 54-vvr

Today I woke up feeling very sick. That is when I decided i would go to vermillion valley resort(vvr). I was running low on food and a day without food would be the worst thing for me. I walked the mile to the cut off and then avoided paying 10 dollars for the ferry by walking five miles around lake Edison.'when I finally got there i saw lots of people i knew. But first things first i ordered a large breakfast burrito that went down well. A good sign. Then i was on the hunt to try to sew my hip belt back on to make it the 30 miles to mammoth where escalator was sending me a new pack. A kind lady outside said that they had a needle in their car if I could just wait a little while I could have it. Of course I was in. My old needle's eye had broken during the last repair. While we were waiting she kindly gave me some summer sausage, and good cheese. Some of a hikers cravings! She and her two kids and husband had been on a few day trip around bear creak. The car showed up and I got my needle. At this point I decided to have a cheeseburger and say goodbye to vvr. I went on my way, walking again to save 10$. After i rejoined the pct, i had two scary river crossing. Mono creek was waist high with good current, but I managed. Then I walked under a waterfall. Finally I began the climb to silver pass. It was my favorite so far because there was a snow covered meadow with a beautiful river running through it. I camped at the top of silver pass and hope to make it to mammoth tomorrow before the post office closes.
