I woke up feeling wonderful. Except my stomach felt tight. I went downstairs with Edelweiss, then had to run to the bathroom. I had a total toilet explosion, and wasn't too pleased with that. I'm hoping that was a one time thing.
The owners were gone, but they left us a note explaining that we could make pancakes and eat pretty much anything else they had! Sweet! We had quite the feast, then kind of sat around the house for a few more hours. No one was really motivated to get back out on the trail. After I had showered, however, it was time to go. We left a long thank you note, then took their Land Cruiser back up to the pass (we had permission). We walked up towards Sheep Lake, and I had reception on the ridge, so I gave my mom a call. I told her how I was feeling, but she convinced me to just keep going. I'm so close... I kept walking then, and ran into Wheew. I haven't seen her since the Saufley's dow in So Cal! She noticed how much weight I had lost, and encouraged me to keep going. I know, I know, I'm going.
Got to Sheep Lake, then pushed the last few miles to where we would be camping. We saw some big horn sheep on the side of a ridge across the way. That was cool!
We found a great spot for camp, and made dinner. I had clam chowder (a powdered mix and a foil packet of baby clams; yum!), but it was too much for me to finish. Plus, my stomach started hurting again. I'm about to go to sleep, so I hope it doesn't keep me up.
