Destination: Red Cones
Miles: 20
Adrian:
We camped within 4 miles of Mammoth Lakes. The mosquitoes were bad but our campfire kept them at bay. For dinner it was freeze dried Polynesian chicken from Mountain House. We usually don't eat that stuff due to cost and it's lack of many calories, but it is tasty.
I'm looking forward to visiting Mammoth again and seeing our friends Christian and Julie.
Kirsten:
Today was much harder than I anticipated. We summited the pass easily and then promptly lost our way for about 15 minutes on the descent.
As annoying as it is to lose the trail - this time because of the snow - there is no better feeling than we you finally find it again. Success!
There were a number of ups and downs on a rocky trail today and by the time we reached our campsite our feet were tenderized. The mosquitoes were relentless so we took advantage of the fire ring. Within a few minutes, we had our first campfire of the whole trip. We've avoided building campfires up until now because we are paranoid of wildfire. It was such a treat to have one tonight.
