This section was just full of trail magic! It was a lot of fun and also served to remind me that this hike would be impossible without help from my family, friends, and the hiking community. So thank you trail angels! Thanks you Mom and Dad! Thank you Bill and Dave! Thank you Kermit and Jeannie-bug!
When we got to Sonora Pass, there were several trail angels with food and drinks for us raggedy hikers. Most of us looked like we had been through one of those old-fashioned clothes dryers, the ones with the rollers. We were all disheveled and skinny (especially Beorn!) and slightly soggy from the biblical rains during the previous days.
After a while, WeeBee's parents, Kermit and Jeannie-bug, showed up in their fabulous Kermit-the-Frog-green VW Westy. They brought cupcakes, fruit and, for WeeBee and I, bagel sandwiches bursting with veggies. They also brought my resupply box! Thanks a bundle.
I traveled with WeeBee's family down to Kennedy Meadows (the northern version) to spend the night.
Two days later, we met WeeBee's parents and the trail angel, Chipmunk, at Ebbets Pass for yummy food (chili poured over easy over eggs...soooo good) and good company. It was a great place for a siesta.
We pushed through the last two days with visions of a real kitchen and a real house in Tahoe. WeeBee has friends who let us stay with them.
