Two Zeros ✍️
Starbucks Mammoth California.
The Nero back at Sonora Pass in Kennedy Meadows was well fed with a Soup and Salad Bar plus a mountain size order of seasoned fries with all the Ranch Dressing I could carry on my plate.
I was excited to Get back on trail to the next 71 miles to Tioga Pass in the Yosemite Wilderness the Land of Rock Candy..
I had six plus miles to ascend over 1,600 feet of sky diving into the up up and up..
I had stored fuel in my jet pack.
Emigrant Wilderness is a lot like a scene from an alien planet without the props or Trillium Studios. I get to set up my Zee Packs Alpine Pocket Tarp
& Six Moons Serenity inner net.
Its a lot lighter taking 17 Ounces off my ULA Ohm 2.0 Pack and kick it with Mando and Grogu in a beautiful Sun Set
I have been having difficulty trying to post my video of this last section
on Wix.
I am not using a lap top only a smart phone which takes forever for Wix to load up anything over 10 Seconds long.
If you are interested I will leave a YouTube link:
I hope you enjoy the video.
I will be getting back on trail tomorrow
Tuesday July 21st 2025
I will pitch my tent at the base of Donahue Pass in Toulumne Meadows and continue
this amazing Discovery of going SOBO on the Pacific Crest Trail through the Sierra.
The Land of Rock Candy has Two Sides.
I will try posting again from either Reds Meadows Store or Vermillion Resorts.
Have a good week.
