MP 792   Resupplied in Independence.   Shared a motel room with a bunch of other hiker trash.    Went out to dinner at a tiny French restaurant with my friends Turtle and Willy who are from Amsterdam.   Had too much wine to drink but got right back on the trail then next morning and up and over Kearsage Pass.    Hiking in the high sierras means hiking up and over one pass after another.    Typically one gains and loses about 3,000 feet with each pass.   Hard to do more than one pass in a day.    Am now camped on the South Side of Glenn Pass.     Have too much food for my bear canister so must hang some of it in a tree.
