Cool weather and clouds in the desert, wind turbines everywhere & so much wind, horny toads, water caches, Kohnen's AKA the best bakery in all of Tehachapi
Zero in Bishop, Kearsarge Pass a second time in a different kind of weather, a very cold night, Forester Pass, SOBO updates & an ultra-runner & a ranger, Foxtail pines and the high plateaus of the southern Sierra
Sun, wind, and water inform our days, the year marches along, we meet a new SOBO, and we enjoy a few leisurely days along our favorite stretch of trail
