Our third day has been a short but packed day of little tasks. Today was Libby’s first of 6 days not here, so Romy and I decided to get a bunch done. To start we picked up Libby’s gear from her house and brought it back to mine. From there it was to the training room to talk to Kelly about a time that we could meet to go over how to properly wrap a sprained knee or ankle. She was willing to set up a meeting with us on Friday to go over it all.


Talking to the health center was our next task. We met with them to discuss making a first aid kit out of the supply’s we already have and what they would need to give us. Once that was checked off the list, we spent some time sending emails to Rosanna, Kelly and Sue about what we had discussed with the others. 



 We ended our time by testing the jet boil, both whisper lights, and rain fly for the tent.

We started off by completing the descent of Mt Jim that we started yesterday to get to the shelter we had stayed at. From the small amount we had done the day before, we knew it would be steep and snowy, but nothing could have persuaded us for the next two hours.  The entire descent we were slipping and sliding on ice and snow that stuck to the rocky riverbed path we chose. After arriving at the base safe and uninjured aside from a few bumps and bruises we crossed a highway and started the next leg of our journey, climbing Mt Wolf. Mt Wolf was the hardest part of our whole trip with no contest; it took us an extremely long time to conquer this portion and by the time all of us had lost all of our mural. We made it to our destination at the

Rosanna has a lot of experience hiking and camping in this area and has proven to be a helpful resource for us so far. The next task was to drive to Sierra trading post to grab some clothes and gear.  Here we were able to find gas for the whisper light stove, bug spray, and I got an inoculated container for personal food and drink. We then made our way to Trader Joe's where we found pea protein, so we didn't have to eat TVP, and some much needed seasoning for meals. Whole foods came after that so we could get some non-refrigerated tofu. Unfortunately, we could not find dehydrated vegetables in either of the grocery stores we went to today or the one we went to yesterday, but that is the only thing left that w
