Me 2007-06-19 Forward Progress!
June 19th, 2007After a week of doing other, equally enjoyable, things I have finally gotten back to the Pacific Crest Trail and you can move my little marker 16.7 miles closer to Canada.
After stopping briefly to chat with OJ and April before they hiked over to Independence, Lucky Joe and I crossed Glen Pass without any trouble. We’d heard previously that it and Muir had the most snow and if that is ‘the most’ then this year’s Sierra is a cake walk. It was a long descent to Wood Creek, past the lovely Rae Lakes, and the haul up the other side was pretty tough. I met 6 other north bound PCTers today, but on first impressions they didn’t seem nearly as much fun as the ones I already know. We’re camped at 11,332ft, according to Lucky Joe’s watch, and can see Pinchot Pass from here.
More photos of this day’s journey can be found at Glen Pass to Mather Pass
Distance today: 16.7 miles. Total distance: 805.2 miles
