Hiking today rocked. It was truly an epic day. We hiked 35 miles! Strong miles too. It was beautiful, we met up with other hikers, the views were great, & the trail was fast. When we arrived at Carson pass trailhead & visitor center, we saw Grit. We all sat down on the edge of the parking lot to cook our dinners and rest. A couple approached us and come to find out they are hikers and plan to hike the PCT next year. They were fun to talk to. We just had a good time hanging out.
We hiked out with Grit and it was fun catching up on the last 1000 miles. She started the same day as me. Atlas is somewhere behind us and we will meet him in Tahoe. The last 11 miles went by quick since we were talking and walking fast. It was almost a full moon & we got our first glimpse of Lake Tahoe from a ridge with the moon bright in the sky. We had to hike in the dark for an hour. That Guy and I had to share a headlamp which was a challenge. When we got to camp at 930 there was a group of hikers there with a campfire going. There was a lot of comaraderie going around and it was cool to see people we hadn't seen in awhile. But we were tired & it was late so we put the tents up quick & dived in. It's so nice to lie down & stretch. Ahh sleep. We are only 6 miles from Tahoe now & will get there in the morning.
