Day 55- bear 2

I woke up on silver pass to an amazing sunrise. Everything is better at 11000 feet. I ate a cinnamon roll for breakfast and then began my long 21 mile trek into town. The first three miles was down hill skiing down the steep ridge into the valley that I would walk along to reds meadow. After finally reaching the ground we ended up climbing again up to the beautiful purple lake. After leaving the snow surrounding purple lake, the hiking became somewhat monotonous only broken up by patches where it was tough to find the trail in the snow. The whole 21 miles was patchy today. After I was finally getting close to reds meadow, I saw a black bear. It was a small one, could have been a cub, so I didnt want to get too close. I did however snap some solid pictures of it. It was golden brown in color just as the first bear we had seen. The excitement ended after around ten minutes and I gave one last effort to try to make it to the post office before it closed. I didn't make it and it seemed my downfall may have been watching the bear too long. It all worked out because I met a nice man on the bus who seemed very interested in my journey. Once I got to town it was the boring town chores to do such as laundry, shower, shopping, and getting batteries charged at a fast food place. About halfway through the chores dr Chonzy called me and said that he and noodles romanoff wanted to get a room at the motel 6. It was done and it is around my 5th real bed in 2 months.
