13 Miles (Glen Pass)
Woke up to light drizzle and overcast sky. No one is moving fast this morning, but that’s okay. We got going around 9:15, super late. Climbed Glen Pass and went down the other side. Passed lots of people going up while we were descending. We figure they are probably out for a long weekend. They picked a great spot. The Rae Lakes area is top notch, even with the swarms of mosquitos. At one point I thought I heard a drone flying overhead, but it was just thousands of mosquitos nearby. We ran into Pepe, Shade, Studio 54, Lego, and Maverick at the first big lake after the pass. We stopped for a quick snack. We leafrogged Studio and Shade before stopping for lunch near a lower lake. Afterwards we finished descending and made it to a suspension bridge. It was wobbly, but seemed safe enough. The river below wasn’t too far down. A short climb later we saw the water slide, which looked fun although dangerous. More climbing to our campsite, but it means less that we’ll have to do tomorrow. We are going to shoot for two passes in one day.
