We're on the bike headed north!
The water crossings up in the mountains are just too crazy for either of us to stomach right now. Consequently, we're going to bike north while the snow pack melts off to a more manageable level and set Tina up to complete her hike as a southbound hiker -- ideally finishing back on Whitney just before the first major winter snows. The math for that is nearly impossible but that's the goal.
For now, we're headed up Highway 395 -- aka the "Eastern Sierra Scenic Byway". At Lee Vining the Sierra Cascades Route crosses back from the western side of the Sierras and we'll then follow it on up to Canada.
Starting the new program, today we cycled the 55 miles up from Ridgecrest to Olancha. Once there we were lucky to find shelter from the many thunderstorms at an RV park that had an fully-equipped 5th wheel we were able to rent for the night. Score!
Until tomorrow, David
