What a great day! The trail went back up on the crest and it was awesome. I took lots of pictures so the miles came slowly. We had lunch on a ridge with a spectacular view of the surrounding peaks. When we descended down to Sonora pass we found lots of trail magic. First there was Steve whose wife Steady is hiking the trail. He gave us soda, cheese, a snack pie, & chocolate. Then up at a picnic area was Owl who had grapes, cherries, strawberries, cookies, & chocolate cake. I ate & drank too much but it sure gave me the energy to power up the next & last climb over 10,000 feet. It was fun to see other hikers there also. Atlas is a couple miles ahead. We spent too much time at the trail magic & couldn't make the 25 mile mark. We will catch up tomorrow.
I very much like the "Hey Mom" picture. Wow, 1,000 miles???? Way to go Lisa. You're almost done already!
