Sierra - Mt. Whitney to Kearsarge pass resupply

June 20, 21 miles

At this point we were beginning to realize that our food was getting thin and we were behind schedule to meet Wayne. 

So, from the summit of Whitney, we hiked back down to guitar lake, packed up all our stuff and got back on the trail.​

We now had another 3.5 miles to get back to the PCT, then another 22 miles to the rendezvous with Wayne.  Oh yeah, that distance also included Forester pass at 13,200ft (the highest we would cross in the Sierra).​  So, we put in about 7 miles or so from Guitar lake, which left us about 18 miles and a pass.

We made the rendezvous, fell into our tent, ate our last meal and settled in to wait for Wayne to show up the next day with our food.

Folks, this is Wayne.  Wayne rocks!  Wayne brought food, wine and Makers Mark.  It was a good day.
