High Sierra Trail Day 3

Day 3 started off on a good note: left my towel behind, so had to go back and ended up losing an hour. Although the first ascent wasn't supposed to be too difficult, it felt like it dragged on and the never-ending descent was also not as great as expected. Day 3 - always the toughest day. Instead of reaching Kern River at 4 or 5, I made it there at 6. First order of business: filter water and make up for my dehydration.
