We left Yosemite today and immediately the trail got easier and better graded. It was a supreme change. Then we hit the 1,000 mile mark which feels like a good accomplishment. We realized that we are not even 40% done with the trail though, so that made 1,000 feel a little less substantial. But we’re getting there! We were able to do a lot of miles today, which will make the next three days of pushing to earn a zero-day in Sacramento with Jen and Kate easier. To end the day we climbed to a saddle and set up camp with an amazing view of sunset and we heard coyotes yipping in the distance. We expect to have an equally amazing view of sunrise.
