Today was a battle. I fought for every single of the 32 Miles I made it. Benson Pass, Seavey Pass and Rock Island Pass all had considerable snow along with Kerrick Canyon. After each pass I would drop down to the canyon floor to cross a raging creek like Kerrick/Rancheria, Falls, Stubblefeld, and Piute. The were all roaring and twice I was in water up to my chest. It was an exhausting day with now miles being tame or flat. I have fallen asleep twice while writing this so I will keep today brief. The last event of the day is I snapped another pole in a solid fall near Benson Pass.
Miles hiked 32
