Day 51:
700 miles down and we made it to Kennedy Meadows
Made it to Kennedy Meadows , taking 2 days off, then time to summit the highest peak in the USA, bought Ice axe , crampons , and bear vault , shit getting real.
Day 45:
We have a 13 mile hike today and will be staying in a cabin this evening. 1500 feet of elevation over the first 3 miles, then the rest of the hike will be easy.
Beautiful flowers along the hike today…
Day 43:
Last night we camped at mile 594.
We will pass mile 600 today. Kennedy Meadows will be the celebration.
Finally out of the desert and wind.
The Sierras start at mile 700.
Day 42:
I have committed to moving on to the Sierras.
We were going to hang tight and do a lot of day hikes to keep our legs strong, but have ultimately decided to press on.
The snow seems to be melting, but we are still at the front of the pack.
We will move a bit slower the next 150 miles.
I was able to buy new shoes and an Ice Axe.
Onwards!
