Day 64-mikes place and echo lake

I finally made it to echo lake and south lake tahoe through all of this crazy snow. In the last 200 miles I have been frustrated beyond anything I've experienced before but also more excited and had fun. Between walking on vistas above everything and valleys with trees all around and no footprints to be seen, this section had everything. Today was going to be my last day in it if I could walk 26 miles to echo lake post office and get my package. All in all, I made it! Through treacherous snow, the worst so far, for an 8 mile stretch with so much cloud cover i couldn't tell directions without a compass that had no footprints to be seen. The best part of today was when I went through Carson pass and the volunteer, Ginger, at the visitors center had snacks, banana bread, and soda for us thru hikers! I was the first one of the day and the banana bread was a fresh loaf. It was wonderful but i had to finish the 16 more miles into echo lake, so I had to say goodbye and walk through nice meadows and wildflower covered hills until I came to the snowy forest. After that, I decended into the valley where echo lake was and regained service to post all my blogs. I am now staying at the trail angel mikes with 15 other hikers including the phenom 12 year old girl sunshine and her dad balls.
