Sonora Pass - Wolf Creek 7/18/10 23 miles

Waking up this morning was bit of a challenge. Three zeros in a row with a little wine on top makes on e a little lazy. We got going and out by 8am. IT was a slow morning. We walked up hill for quite some time and reconditioned ourselves. We had a break at a nice overlook and munched down on some spicy peanuts, trail mix and chocolate that Mary had sent us (thanks Mary!) We continued on, having some random discussion about hobbies and music that had been stuck in our heads. I thought a lot about my mom today, hoping that she did get discharged from the hospital and that she was feeling better. Very anxious to talk with her. The trail was nice today, sandy and easy o the feet. The views are changing from tall, sharp, snow mountains to sandy, rounded, rocky ones. Again, this trail keeps us on our toes with the rapid change in scenery. WE walked through meadows of gorgeous wild flowers-yellows, purples ,greens, oranges, reds and pinks. WE walked into nice shaded forests with lots of old trees. Beautiful day, blue sky. -KB
