Eastern Sierra: Day 9 – Upper Pine Lake I woke up feeling like a six year old that has just been informed he has five minutes left to play on his favorite ride… Today was the last full day and night I would spend in the wilderness. There was some distance to cover today, with … Continue reading
Eastern Sierra: Day 8 – Down I woke up, and Tomorrow-Guy was nowhere to be found. It was about 7:30 and I mixed some Tang and poked my head out of the tent, then climbed the rest of the way out. It was still cold, but there was no wind to speak of. The sun … Continue reading
