NOBO JMT 2018 (6) --- VVR to Mammoth

8/7

VVRで高カロリーの食事が続けられるのは三日が限度。四日目からはフルスペックの朝食が食べられなくなった。VVRに長滞在したので、そろそろマンモスに向かうことにした。残念だが、食料は半分くらいバレルに捨てた。もちろん、食べられそうなアメリカの食べ物やエナージーバーは拾ったが。

The three days stay at VVR is the limit because of high-calorie food. Regrettably, I could not eat the full American breakfast. I had to head to Mammoth, the half of my resupplies was cast into the hiker's box. Of course, I picked up several foods and energy bars.

9:00 フェリー乗り場、Mono Creek Junction 10:40、ランチ 12:30。メドウ14:30。Silver Pass Lake 16:40。荷物が軽いので30分くらい早めに付いた。お気に入りの場所が空いていたので、一人きりでキャンプ。夕食はVVRで拾った物。二袋ミックス。

The ferry terminal at 9:00, Mono Creek Junction at 10:40. I took lunch at 12:30. Meadow at 14:30. Silver Pass Lake at 16:40. I arrived at the campsite 30 minutes earlier than usual because my backpack was light. I pitched my tent at my favorite place alone. The dinner was the two packs I picked up at VVR.

7:20出発、Silver Pass 8:00, Chief Lake 8:30、少し下るとMinaretが見えるが、ガスは煙。Lake Virginia 14:10。ハンモックでのんびりしているハイカー一人。Purple Lake 16:00、テントサイトは湖の北西によい場所が多かった。

I started to hike at 7:20. Silver Pass at 8:00, Chief Lake 8:30. I looked the smoke and Minaret at a little lowe place. Lake Virginia at 14:10. An American hiker was chilling on the hammock alone. Purple Lake at 16:00. I found good campsites along the north-west side of the lake.

8/9

7:30 出発、Duck Lake 10:00、意外にきれいな場所だった。Fat Americans 数名。マンモスの近くのキャンプ場は良いとは聞いたが、行かない方がよいと思った。Skelton Lakeにテント設営、13:00。のんびりする。みりん干しはダブルで焼く。

I started to hike at 7:30. Duck Lake at 10:00. Duck Lake was a very beautiful place. I found several fat Americans. I heard that there are good campgrounds along near Mammoth. But I did not think them good. I pitched my tent near Skelton Lake at 13:00. I ate dry fishes double.

6:30出発、Campgroundは24$、車のキャンプが中心。バス停 8:20、Bishopまでのヒッチハイクを試みたが、車が通らない。無料のシャトルバスを乗り継いでマンモスのVONSの前まで。VONSのパンで昼食にして、ESTA BusでBishop へ。ハイキング終了。

I started to hike at 6:30. The fee of a campground was 24$. It was for car camping. The bus stop at 8:20.  I tried a hitchhiking to Bishop, but no car came. I rode on a free shuttle bus and changed to another. I arrived at the front of Vons in Mammoth. I ate bread for lunch and rode an ESTA bus heading to Bishop. Now, my hiking of this summer ended.
