\nMiles: 787 – 789.1 plus Kearsarge Pass to the Onion Valley campground<\/p>\n

I woke up a couple times during the night to a soft pattering noise on the rain fly to my tent. I reached my hand up to push the tent roof upward a bit and snow slid in all directions to the ground. When I got out of my tent this morning, everything was covered by a couple inches of white. <\/p>\n

\n<\/span>It was beautiful, and cold, and it filled in the footsteps ahead of us making navigation a little more challenging.  We made it up and over Kearsarge Pass, however, and started the looooong descent down to the Onion Valley Campground.  <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThere were several other hikers who had already been waiting around at the campground because it is a long way from Independence and getting a ride in to town was tough.  After at least an hour we snagged a ride with Santa’s Little Helper, whom we met at the Bird Springs Pass water cache, and who had now rented a van to shuttle hikers back and forth from the trailhead to Independence and on to Bishop.  He dropped us off in Independence, which basically consists of a minit mart and a French restaurant, and then came back a little bit later to drive us in to Bishop to resupply.  We ate some decent Mexican food (again!), then we packed in to a hotel room. Tomorrow we’ll figure out whether to head back in to the Sierra or to skip north. <\/span><\/p>\n
