Poop Your Pants Pass

Day 5 – 7/5/18
~10.2 miles
Horseshoe lakes to Upper Basin

Too lazy to write tonight, so here’s the day’s bullet points:

⁃ All off trail.

⁃ Mosquitoes apocalyptic much of the time.

⁃ Marion Lake is really really blue.

⁃ Poop Your Pants Pass (designation from my friends Allgood, Snorkel, and POD) really wasn’t bad, but ready to have a break from the talus by the end.

⁃ Stopped just short of the PCT, enjoying our solitude.

Here are too many pretty pictures:

Camp in Upper Basin

FYI – this will be my last update for a while. In an effort to save weight, I did not bring my camera battery charger this trip, and uploading the photos to my phone drains the battery. So, the rest will wait til we’re done hiking in a couple of weeks!
