Day 51
Some chose to stop at Lone Pine via Horseshoe Meadows to resupply while we carried all the food from Kennedy Meadows all the way to Kearsarge Pass. It was only a bit terrible the first day and a half, so I was glad I didn't have to go out of the way to resupply in such a short time.

Upon reaching Cottonwood Pass, I saw ominous clouds and some rain in the distance. I hurried my way to our campsite at Chicken Springs Lake, where my group had just recently jumped in the mostly frozen lake. I opted from jumping in, as I wanted to pitch my tent and make dinner. A few sprinkles came in but the clouds cleared up right after. We all went to bed early that night.
