We decided last night that we would take an easy day, not going up
Whitney meant we had time to do whatever. So this morning we slept in.
Then Lauren went walking down the creek, while I walked up creek for
awhile. I was trying to catch some trout with barehands, but no luck.
Then I started to look at maps and got anxious. We are doing great,
12-18 miles a day, but its still hard for me to stay still. It will
likely be this way for awhile too, waiting for Lauren's flat feet to get
stronger. I dont know why I get anxious. It may have to do with all of
the other hikers constantly passing us. Not to sound like a jerk, but
normally not many hikers pass me.
We did good though today, 13 miles after noon. We are camped about a
mile or so from the top of Forrester Pass, the highest point on the PCT.
Views are incredible. Its going to be a cold night though, up here at
12500 feet.
We only have 20 miles to Onion Valley, where a hitch will take us to
Bishop. But we may do it in 2 days, depending on how the feet hold up.
Time for rest.
