End: near the trail for the Vermillion Valley Resort Ferry
Daily: 15.9
Total: 878.5
We went over Selden this morning (it really was the easiest pass) and then made our way down towards the crossing for Bear Creek, which we heard had been a little scary. When we got there, Grenade, Gnarly, Honeybee and Fox Feathers had just crossed and let us know where they thought it was easiest. it really wasn't too hard. Everyone thought Wright Creek was worse. Han Solo and Rockfish both had no problem, but crossings are always harder for short people, so DOT had a little scare. She made it without falling in though!
Then we took lunch a couple miles down the trail, where there was a deep eddy by the bank. I had to get in. It was cold cold cold, but so refreshing.
Next was a giant hill, which we climbed just so we could descend the other side, it seemed. The downhill was so steep and snow covered, I had a scary fall almost into some rocks. I didn't like it and it went on forever. Finally we got to the bottom, crossed a creek, and I pointed to the first campsite we saw.
While we were cooking, a guy I named Hagrid (he has the hair, he walks like Hagrid, and we met him for the first time in the Muir Hut) came up and asked to share our fire. He came into the Sierra with no shelter, no sunglasses and onely one jacket. He also had very little food and missed the VVR ferry so we gave him some back up food we had. He was so happy!
Anyway, tomorrow's going to be hard - time fore sleep.
