DAY FIFTY-SIX, July 4 (Independence Day?), 30.4 Miles
At mile 1040.4
Once again, beautiful spot to camp. Very nice to wake up where we did. And, oh! The joys of cowboy camping! Despite the wind. Plenty of ridge walking, a rarity on this here sidle-trail. Some "lethal snow slopes" (thanks for that, guidebook) were far too inviting to not glissade down. Unfortunately some nervous braking and endless decision making negated any time it would have saved. And I twice almost lost Penn, disaster averted. Owl had the 'Sonora Pass Cafe' going at the trail head (first road in many a mile), fruit, tea and cake. Perfect. Hung around there for a couple of hours with Shit Monkey and Hamburgerass. Pretty cruisy afternoon, just a lot of it. Have a nice, secluded camp that got attacked by a panicked deer. No mosquito's!!!
