Left camp at 0600 this morning and hiked into Ebbett's Pass and met Shirley at 8:30 am. This was only 6 1/2 miles over dramatic canyons with terrific volcanic formations and Bonzi-like Cedar and Pine trees. There were many passes over rolling rock strewn landscapes with the only vegetation being wildflowers. After a short break we took off again, slack packing for another 18 miles. The afternoon was blessed with hillside ridges and large pine forests. Sometimes you could see each other 1/2 mile or more away on opposite ridges. We arrived at Blue Lakes Road trailhead where Shirley and Gordon were waiting. We camped for the night here.
Photo #1 shows the Bonzi-like, weather-worn cedars; #2 are the Blue Lakes seen from above; #3 Canada - here I come.
Keep hiking,
Greybeard
