Day 63-falling

Today I had a couple interesting falls. It as a whole today was a lot less snowy than the previous days, so when there was snow, I was trying to power through it. All up over bear creek pass was snowy, but the snow really became patchy. It was nice for getting in fast miles. Just before the bear creek pass i met outlaw, bob and 2 other people I didn't catch their names. The falling occurred on one of the steep snow covered decents into a canyon than occurred many times today. Most the time when we get to one of these we just put our feet down and ski down it. This method is only good when its short. This was a long steep one and i just decided to go for it. I got to the bottom and it was mud, when I expected dirt and BAM! faceplant. It was not so bad, at least it was soft. Well I brushed myself off and kept going. I ended up making it about 27 miles today, leaving 26 to get into tahoe. Other events of today are I met an Austrian named garfunkel, I slipped crossing a creek and broke my trekking pole trying to break my fall, and I passed an empty cooler of trail magic. I would say an eventful day. And also no worries I only hurt my pride on both the falls.
