Trail Update Mile 789.0 : Erin and I are in Bishop, staying at the Hostel California, a new place for adventurers to stay in town, offering great rates, good people, and a wonderful kitchen. We are taking an extra zero day to rest my knee, and will be returning to the trail tomorrow. Hope everyone at home is well, the weather is wonderful here and we are loving the Sierra Mountains, so much better then the desert.
The passes have been snowy above 10,000'. Going over Forester pass was a real treat, amazing views and mountains beyond mountains covering the horizon. We did not climb Mt. Whitney, due to a shortage of food, we thought it would be better to move on and climb the mountain some other day. In the next section we will be going over at least one pass each day, sometimes 2. And this means we have a 2-3,000' climb each day, and with our planned 18 mile days we are in for a real workout.
We are making the most of town when we still can. I'll put up pictures soon!
