Day 65 – Mile 883.6 to Mile 902.6

Saturday, June 27. Mid-30s with windchill in the upper 30s and going up to upper 40s. Welcome back to winter!

Up at 6:00. On trail at 7:00.

We climbed about 3 miles up and over Silver Pass. Not a bad ascent and wonderful views with the clouds adding a nice backdrop to the mountains and lakes.

Crossed the 1/3 marker. I’m 65 days in and only 1/3 of the way to Canada. I need to pick up the pace !

As we approached camp, we passed the 900-mile marker.

We got to camp at 5:15. We were the first ones here, but about 15 more arrived later. We only have 5.5 miles tomorrow morning to get to Reds Meadow for breakfast and a bus into Mammoth for a Nero and resupply. That’s a good thing as I am pretty much out of food once I finished dinner today.
