A beautiful day for the walkers and runners yesterday over Echo Pass. The sun was shining, the temperature in the 50s. Our Navajo Ute runner Willie Lonewolf put on snowshoes for the first time, and make part of the journey on top of the huge snowbanks because there was no place to run on the side of the winding mountain road. At Strawberry, a small store donated hot dogs and beans for the 80 walkers and runners going up the Sierra Nevadas. Washoe have joined us here for prayers. They have made special requests for the bears, coming down from the mountains and being shot by residents. The bears have been coming down the mountain for water because of the global warming and lack of water on top.
