Day 75 - 7/09/12 - Welcome to the Love Nest

Contents:  Sonora Pass - Asa Lake's Outlet Creek (24.9 miles)

Great day today.  It was tough to leave the magic but we finally escaped after breakfast.  Breakfast was fantastic - the best eggs I've ever tasted (The secret?  Tons of cheese and bacon grease), bacon, fruit, pastries, yogurt, and juice.  So good!

We had a gradual climb out of Sonora Pass.  part way up we found this awsome rock nest.  We called it Mellow's Love Nest.  It was pretty sweet.  Action Packed and I had fun posing for some pics with Mellow.  From there, we continued climbing up to a saddle at 10,500 feet.  This was our last high point over 10,0000 feet for the entire PCT.  Crazy!  Exciting, but also a little sad.  I've love the high alpine and will miss it.  We probably won't be in that type of environment again until Washington.

The rest of the day was productive but uneventful.  There were times when I felt like was walking in circles, but the miles passed fairly quickly.  I took a great shower in a waterfall along the trail.  Getting excited for new shoes and AYCE buffets in South Lake Tahoe!  We should be there early Wednesday!
