On Monday I headed south from Carson Pass towards Ebbetts Pass, where I was going to meet up with Alina, another thru-rider on the PCT this year. I've been in contact with her for months as she completed a ride of the PCT in 2013 as well, with her brother Cameron helping her the same way my mom is assisting me with resupply and logistical support this year. She has been a wealth of information and I was really excited about the opportunity to meet--a very lucky chance, as she was riding north along the same section where I was headed south. On my way to Ebbetts, I went by the beautiful Blue Lakes area, which was appropriately named, as can be seen in the photo!
