On the trail at 10, rain started within 20 minutes. Will it rain all day, or all day and all night?

I met at least two dozen backpackers. A couple recognized me from two days ago when we were both going in different directions..

At 4 §enecaeLake appeared.

Afterwards the trail goes over a pass, and we see some extremely rugged rocks on an alternate trail.

Fremont Crossing comes into view. I sure hope for a bridge.

Yes, a bridge!

Rain starts hard just after the tent goes up. We are over 10k, so expect a cold night.
