Day 325

We woke up at about 4am today, rolled out of bed and drove downtown to catch our bus to Bakersfield!  The bus was good, we just hung out and talked and read magazines (thanks to Penny, the best train station chauffeur ever!).  Then we got to Bakersfield and boarded our train to Hanford, which was also fun and I almost killed Tina trying to smush my backpack into the overhead compartment... oopsie!  Stephanie's dad met us in Hanford with delicious homemade bean and cheese burritos, then drove us the 3 hours to Road's End in Kings Canyon National Park.  We successfully picked up our permit from a very slow moving and slow talking ranger, then finally hiked the 6 miles into our campsite - hello, nature!!
