Mile 879, Mono Creek
 |
| Selden Pass, with lakes like sapphires against tawny peaks. |
Whew, the Sierras are no joke! Over 4,000 feet of climbing today, and I'm pretty well exhausted from the last couple days. A pass a day is a tough schedule to sustain, but hopefully a zero is in my future for Mammoth Lakes. Rest will be so welcome!
Selden was gorgeous, and the easiest pass so far--no snow to deal with, just gorgeous lakes. Caught up with a sister duo at lunch today who I haven't seen in five hundred miles; Half Dome and GI Joyce. Also, Paja, who's hiking the trail barefoot. A plus to taking a week off is all the people I get to catch up with.
Believe it or not, tonight my first night camping alone this whole trip! It's nice, though. I made a fire and read some Mark Twain that Thumby passed to me. I thought it might freak me out a little to be by myself at first, but I feel safe and content out here. The trail is my home.
