PCT 2018 Day 40, June 1, Friday.
Start mile 862.4, campsite 3.2 miles from Selden Pass
End mile 882.9, campsite 2 miles from Silver Pass
Miles walked: 20.5
Climbing to the pass extra early, no traction devices on shoes were necessary going up. The night was cold and snow quite firm. 
The way down was steeper, with footprints going straight down the slope in places. 
The transition from partial snow coverage to clear was reasonably quick, so perhaps only a mile or two of post-holing and seeking alternate routes parallel to snow-covered trail.
Near the trail for Vermillion Valley Resort I meet Sunshine and two other hikers that were getting ATT cell signal, but no others cell providers. They were heading into the resort, like most hikers I have been talking to for three days, but I am skipping and will hike a day or two more to the trail for Mammoth Lakes, a town with many more supply and food options. The hikers were able to tell me that the store near the route to Mammoth was not open yet, so the shuttle from the store to town was not stopping at the store. They verified the correct trail exit for me to take of three options.
Down from the pass, let me say a word on lower altitudes. Water is omnipresent. Often the route is along a large stream, the roar of rapids a familiar presence. The trail is frequently soggy from snow-melt and swollen creeks, and much of the effort of the day is spent avoiding water hazards in the path by stepping on rocks, etc. 
Many creek an stream crossings are necessary, and several are fords, wet-foot crossings. One of the last fords of the day was next to a waterfall, the mist spraying on hikers. 
I could not zoom out for you to see how long the falls were. Here is another view. 
The climb up is too hard, no sketchy scrambles on ice or rock. Muir Cabin at the pass is dedicated to the memory of John Muir, built of local rock. 
The charming chimney is bricked up. See the ceiling constructed of stone. 
The cabin is surprisingly warm naturally, with one small window. 
Descending… 
About a mile of post-holing. I saw Hershey and Nightingale just after the last of tho snow, planning to take an easy day since it was too far to the next pass. (I think to myself, “Challenge accepted!”) This lake with ice has a pleasing pattern. 
Down a canyon and along a river and meadow 
I greeted Applejack, last seen at Grumpy Bears at Kennedy Meadows. My walk is fast and long to get close to Selden Pass, since early morning ascents and descents are much more pleasant. Success. Finished audiobook 
Following footprints was useful, but the last set of switchbacks were ignored, in favor of rock scrambling, perhaps a little too exciting at a steep 12k elevation. 
Summiting at nearly the same time are Nightingale and Hershey, and Lake and Frogger. I descend right away to get past snow before it is warm enough for post-holing. The path down is on a steep slope, treacherous.
Several miles were necessary to get below from the snow, and post-holing began as early as 9AM, so starting early did not help much. We just had to power through. Then we descend on well-engineered switchbacks deep into a pleasant canyon, and follow along a river for much of the afternoon. I meet Easy, who I had not seen since before Kennedy Meadows. He heads off-trail to Bishop Pass to get resupply.
