Interesting. When I was having my B & B (burger & beer) at the WPS yesterday, there were two young PCT hikers--Calorie and Double-Check. Calorie had been injured a few days earlier, slipping on the snow just below Kearsarge Pass. They were coming out for a resupply. He fell a couple of hundred feet, and gashed his leg to the bone. There was already a helo in the air or about to be, planning to look for an overdue Moose, and it diverted to pick him up. I didn't get the whole story, but he is on the mend. He had hiked 6 miles yesterday, and was hoping to get back on the PCT soon.

By the way, said Moose had brought up a chocolate cream pie from the Alabama Hills cafe, to help the seniors celebrate their conquest of Mt. Whitney; she took at least half of it home.

PS. The mosquitoes are out, even as high as Trail Camp.
