Day 68 – Mile 921.1 to Mile 934.6

Tuesday, June 30. Mid-30s and clear going up to 60.

Up at 6:15. Very cold this morning. Brad and Margarita arrived about 7:20.

We stopped at Thousand Islands Lake at 9:00 for a snack and a break. 

We summited Island Pass at 10:25. The campers up here woke up to 3 inches of new snow this morning. Great view of Thousand Islands Lake from up here.

Stopped for lunch one mile before the summit of Donohue Pass. Took a group nap after lunch. 

Summited Donohue Pass at 2:30. We are now in Yosemite National Park. Had cell service up here so I sent a photo to Pitcrew.

Nasty rocky descent for 5 miles after the pass. Knees and feet are not happy!

Made camp at 4:30. Early day but we are all beat. Decent campsite, but bad mosquitoes. We were all in our tents avoiding them at 6:00.

We have a flat 9.3 miles to get to Tuolumne Meadows tomorrow around 11:00. I’ll pick up my resupply package, have lunch, and see if I’m allowed to camp there.
