Good luck Kel! Very proud of you.

Slept great last night strangely enough. The wind was crazy but settled down sometime after about 3:30. Woke up to a beautiful morning and the sun shining in to my tent.

We still had a few more miles to climb and much of it was snowy.

Finally hit the summit and this beast was looming in front of us.

Mount Baden Powell. She looked pretty intimidating and every time we turned around a bend, there she was. From what we've heard, we have a weather window to get over her tomorrow because on Thursday there could be a storm coming in. 

Part of the hike today went down Mountainhigh ski resort

And then down into Wrightwood. This is the first town we've come to in quite a while with a legitimate grocery store so we did a full resupply. We have 4 or 5 days to the next town.  Nice hiking tan going here.

As we were walking from the grocery store, a car pulled up and little ten year old guy jumped out with a laminated map of the US on one side and a world map on the other.  He asked if we were PCT hikers. We said yes and he asked us to sign his map with our trail names on the place we were from. He said he does this every year and that when he's 17, he's going to do it. Pretty cute. He already has his trail name. Atlas.

Ran into Venture and Bee here 

Had a few good meals, and tomorrow morning we have another big climb ahead of us.

Sending good vibes to my daughter taking her PT Boards on Wednesday! Go Kel!
