Sunshine!
Sunshine!
Better than food, is sunshine.
Pinchot Pass. Just as Nate was about to say, "No more pass!!" we were at the top. Eating lunch atop these nutty mountains has become a perfect way to reward and enjoy ourselves. We met lovely Judy up there, who does this hike almost yearly. She granted us three bags of GORP (nuts and fruits and m&ms, we were delighted to find out), and scrambled eggs. The boys now want to add nuts and fruit to this October's Halloween loot, to make the largest bag of GORP ever. Thank you Judy, so much.
We also learned that llamas are very lovey and do not spit viciously. We are sleeping next to two llamas now who are perfect neighbors. They are helping our friends next door carry food on their celebratory 60th birthday hike through the Sierras.
We hiked from 12,130 ft down to the 8000's only to go up again tomorrow for Glen Pass. Sigh. Tomorrow we climb as close to Glen as we can, and hope to be close to Onion Valley by the 7th.
Hope hope. Food, here we come!
