Mammoth Trip, 2019

September 14

Sonora Pass West

Happily, I'm descending now!

A few things still happen on the way down: My backup GPS jumps ship, and I have to circle back a couple hundred meters to look for and retrieve it; a toilet break at a camp site; I bonk on the final wavy stretch at the bottom, because I'd totally forgotten to eat. Finally, I arrive at 395, and Stella drives us to Mammoth.


Will I try this again? Right now, I tell myself "no". But who knows. The older I get, the more I try to get younger again, and am determined to show I can still do it. I guess we'll see. -F
