MINERAL KING Timber Gap to Sawtooth Pass 30 miles 3 days 10k ft of gain 40# of weight strapped to the back YEEEHAW! I was basically a buffet for mosquitos When we felt the urge, We dumped the gear and stretched the legs a bit. I gawked and stared at The Majesty often, greedily Marveling as water cascaded down the grooves of impossibly high peaks, moving in that glitchy, too slow to be real way, where it seemed to defy physics, A slow-spilling down the cliff-side, No doubt just an illusion having to do with scale & scope. We weren’t mauled by bears, this was good. We hardly saw another humanoid out there, this was great. Thru-hiking is ZERO joke Crazy respect for the REAL bushwhackers Ones who do this often, Greater heights, greatest lengths. We put the LONGSKY 2s through a proper gauntlet Hydromoc’d when the sapphire water was beckoning. Helluva weekend.
