Highlight: More trail magic, this time from Siri at Landers Meadow. (Honorable mention: Payday bars. My new favorite. They don’t melt in the desert.)
Biggest challenge: Sore shoulders from the extra pack weight of a six-day food carry. (I’m not so sure about the 10-day food carry idea in the Sierra section coming up.)
I was on a Payday kick when I did the JMT. Love the salty and sweet combo!
