Bishop, California

Were these things always this heavy??

Might be hard to do a road walk on a closed road. "Luckily" they let us through.... Dammit.

Views down into the Owens Valley as we gained our elevation back.

The asphalt grabbed my trekking poles out of my hand several times that day. Too many times. So many I had to take a picture of it.

When all the mother ^$&#*#$@ trucks don't give you a ride, it's grumpy selfie time.

Heading back into bear country... although we hadn't seen any tracks yet.

The post-roadwalk feast!

Nap/worry time.

Camp with a lovely view/smell.

Total mileage along the PCT: 750

Total mileage with detours: 800
