Day 38 6/22 27mi.

We camped up high last night so the day started out fairly easy with amazing views!

Just after the last town stop we officially eneter the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Right away we were able to notice a slight change in the landscape that we're walking through. The mountains have been more jagged, there have been more mountain peaks in a smaller area, and its been a lot more rocky.

We walked with Avocado and Chow down for awhile this morning and made it 15 miles before we all took a break for lunch. Our break was next to a very small stream that was almost dried up, but we managed to get enough water out of it to last us until the next water source.

After lunch we climbed up qbout 2000 feet where we had to cross a little saddle that the wind was whipping through. I had to lean hard to the left, into the wind, the wind was so strong it was hard to keep my balance and when a big gust would blow it'd puah me 4 or 5 feet off to the right of the trail. Carly was behind me, she said she had to walk a bit off the trail to stay closer to some trees in order to get to the other side.

At about 8 we made it to a stream where we were planning to fill up on water and camp near. When we got there we discovered someone had left few beers and sierra mists in a basket in the stream for PCT hikers!!!!! So I got to enjoy a nice cold beer while I pumped water for tonight and tomorrow morning.
