We all got up this morning having slept terribly. Must have been something in the air but it made getting up early a task. We also had to immediately climb Carson Pass but with all of our ‘training’ through the Sierra, it wasn’t too bad of a climb. The view itself was also incredible. After the pass, we began walking by a ton of day hikers which usually means a trailhead super close. We were in luck as there was also a ranger station giving out soda and snacks.
After our break, we had some rolling hills for the rest of the day. Our water sources have become less and less reliable since the middle of the Sierra and it reminded us we will be ending this section today. Our next section being NorCal.
Sonic, Rummage, Spoons, Fly Lord, Mackenzie and I are making it into South Lake Tahoe for a half day after hiking 18 miles but 2PM.
Rick, a trail angel, volunteer, and genuinely great person gave us a ride from Highway 50 right to the Chipotle in town. We all loaded up on food and headed to the grocery store for our resupply. Just a three day carry but for some reason, we have as much if not more food than we normally do for a four or five day carry. We can’t seem to figure out our food situation. Goldie Locks has yet to be satisfied.
We’re set up in South Lake Tahoe campground for a free place to pitch our tent. Should be some good sleeping even though we just saw a bear roll up to the camp site next to ours.
Happy town…
