For the second day of my senior project adventure we met Rosanna for lunch in the dinning hall to talk about options for hiking routes. Rosanna has a lot of experience hiking and camping in this area and has proven to be a helpful resource for us so far. The next task was to drive to Sierra trading post to grab some clothes and gear.

 Here we were able to find gas for the whisper light stove, bug spray, and I got an inoculated container for personal food and drink. We then made our way to Trader Joe's where we found pea protein, so we didn't have to eat TVP, and some much needed seasoning for meals. Whole foods came after that so we could get some non-refrigerated tofu. Unfortunately, we could not find dehydrated vegetables in either of the grocery stores we went to today or the one we went to yesterday, but that is the only thing left that we need.

 In the end, we needed to stop at EMS- eastern mountain sports, to grab a water filtration system and we found a good starter first aid kit that we will build off of. Once we got back from our shopping extravaganza Romy and I tested the water filtration kit that we got today. It worked even better than we thought it would, keeping a steady stream with only gravity.
