Day 28 - Woods Creek to Rae Lakes...
Today the ladies headed out from the Woods Creek camp to the Rae Lakes area. A good 2500' vertical climb was overcome but the reward was worth it. Rae Lakes are simply beautiful and make a wonderful spot to camp. Along the trail, the gals met many great people. Included were a group of guys from the Santa Barbara area. When the girls told them how long they had been on the trail and how low their food was, the guys broke open their packs and handed out all kinds of goodies. Turns out they were leaving the trail the next day and had a bunch of extra stuff. Nana commented in her personal journal, "We have run into the most incredible people who have just been so giving".

Great blog and pics! I stumbled upon this site while daydreaming about the upcoming backpacking season.
My friends and I are the guys from Santa Barbara who donated some food to these very ambitious ladies while on the top of Glen Pass. They were really fun people with an amazingly positive attitude. We even took a couple pictures with the ladies and have all reminisced about our visit with them many times since our trip. Just wanted to congratulate them on finishing their goal!
