Tired
Sorry its been a few days since the last post. We've been battling the Sierras and finally made it over Carsons Pass (8573 ft). It took way too long and we are exhausted. Tonight we are motelling it in Carsons City and unfortunately we are too tired to even go to the casino. Ryan and I have come to the realization that we have way to much gear and need to send some home. I've packed a bag with about 10-15 lbs of gear to go home and Ryan has just as much. Once we lighten up we will be heading to Dayton, which is only about 15 miles or so. We are going to use tomorrow as a regrouping and rest up day. Then back on the road heading for Utah.

What gear are you sending home? What gear is essential? Have you found it difficult to stealth camp? What's the coolest temps you've encountered and has it been easy to bear? Would you change your clothing/sleeping bag/tent or anything else based on temperature alone? Is it easy to get fresh water along the way? Do you think some sort of sterilization/filtration system to get stream/lake water is necessary? Sorry for all the questions but I'm planning a trip at the end of the month and would really appreciate any help your experience can provide!

Hi Patrick. This is the first time I've checked in. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to cross the Sierras. Great work! Keep it up!
