June 29.
Woke up 5.45am, quick air release of my sleeping pad ensured that I wouldn’t go back to bed. Some humidity in the tent, but not too bad.
Breakfast together around 6.30am… we left camp at 7.30am. Benson pass with 10100 feet would be today’s challenge.. coming up from 8500 feet. Made it over the pass without any snow around 11am. But the mosquitoes were really annoying up there.
Lunch at a small creek at mile 968. Cactass checking her air mattress for punctures.
Pitching our tents at mile 973. Campfire… Good night!
