got 24 miles beyond Kennedy Meadows

Hiked all day with Stirling. Nice lad (23). Biologist and Martial Arts expert. Chatted with The Dude and Tracy and Ed at lunch but we didn't manage to camp with them.

As we camped Catra came by with Curt. We had left Kennedy Meadows at 6am and they had to wait for the store and so left at 10am. Soon after The Champ showed up and quickly established his cowboy camp on the trail!
