Adrian:
A huge congratulations to Billy and the best of wishes to Deanne on their wedding day today! We are so sorry to miss the special day and celebrate with all the great people at the event. We love you two! Good luck and the best of times to you two.
Today was a nice rest day with relatively easy miles to get in position for the longest pass yet; Muir Pass.
We started with a long 2,000 foot descent down the Golden Staircase. Trekking poles saved our knees here for sure. We followed a raging river down to the Middle Fork of the King's River. Once there we had a warm lunch of brown fried rice with sundried tomatoes. I caught a small Golden Trout while K cooked.
We lunched with Duece and talked about going to the High Sierra Music Festival over Independence Day. It's in Quincy, which is not far from where we'll be.
The hike up past Bishop Pass trail was an easy climb and we found a great stealth campsite about 4 miles from the summit of Muir Pass. Dinner was Mac'n'Cheese super-charged with a chicken breast mixed in. Desert was crushed Mint Milanos.
Tomorrow an early start on Muir...
Kirsten:
Two important events occurred today. First and foremost, Billy and Deanne's wedding. Our adventure has been amazing. BUT I wish we could have been at in Colorado to witness our close friends exchange vows.
OK, on to the next event. Hike Naked Day! Yup, today is hike naked day. You should see Adrian's sunburn.
