Day 62 – Mile 847 to Mile 865.9

Wednesday, June 24. Low 40s and clear going up to mid-70s.

Up at 5:30. On trail at 6:40.

This is our first day in a while with no mountain pass to cross. We just have to crush miles and meet Margarita this afternoon. 

We made good progress most of the morning even with my back bothering me. We had one big water crossing.

Stopped for lunch at 12:30 by the first junction for Muir Trail Ranch. Chilled for an hour.

We met Margarita at 3:00. Very good to see her as we weren’t sure we would be able to hook up after her 4-day health break.

We made camp by a lake just below Selden Pass about 5:00.

Tomorrow we get to civilization at VVR. I’ve been looking forward to this for 6 days! Can’t wait!
