We got a ton of errands done today - an expensive (?) resupply, sent off our bear cans, uploaded pictures and blog posts, all with the help of Mr. and Mrs. Rockwood. They had rented a car, so we got to be driven all these places instead of walk.

Then off to Sonora, where they took 3 days of food from us, Grenade, Boots and Bubbles and said they'd meet us at Ebbetts pass. So no bear can, only two days of food... my pack feels like heaven.

Then we climbed up and over the snowy ridge. It was beautiful, but the snow fingers were almost vertical in some places. I was really happy when the terrain started to level out and I could boot ski instead of having to be careful. I could see how someone could get seriously hurt here.

Eventually we made it to a good camping spot and our bellies were so full from lunch (thanks again, Cindy and Rich!) still that we almost didn't want dinner. Hah! We ate it anyway. I'm still trying to fatten Chris up (for Donner Pass, of course).

Now it's sleepytime.
