PCT 2018 Day 32, May 24, Thursday.
Start mile 730.8, campsite at Death Canyon Creek
End campsites at Rock Creek, mile 760.5
Miles walked: 29.7
Starting at 8 5k elevation, I climb to 11.1k at Cottonwood Pass.
At the pass, and throughout the day, one can see many impressive snow-covered peaks. 
The pass has very little remaining snow, just a few places. 
Near the end of the day we enter Sequoia National Park, which requires the use of bear canisters. Bear boxes are also distributed at many campsites. At my final campsite, back down at 9.5k, I fall off a log trying to cross a creek, and get wet feet. Several crossings in this area are tricky to cross, or are wet-foot crossings, as will be experienced tomorrow. A few other hikers are at this campsite, too weary to socialize.

Climbing higher, snow covered mountains grow nearer. 
In old-growth forest, some wide white sandy patches appear near the destination campsite. 
One full month on the PCT!
Milkshake (Missouri), from the day of angel treats, arrives and finds her friends, including Dirt and Applejack, and we all hold court at Grumpy’s bar. 
Much conversation and laughter occur. Although the free tent sites by the restaurant was fine for one night, once my 24 hours of paid wifi was finished, I decided to move to the quieter Kennedy Meadows Campground on trail, for a strong start in the morning. Sean (former police officer) and I take the shuttle to the trailhead. At the campground, we discover that Kennedy Meadows Store now runs the campground, and that we were supposed to have paid for our sites at the store, a couple of miles back. We hike a couple of miles further and set up camp near the sound of the river.
