Day 24 - I explored deeper into the Sierra Nevada. First a desperate oil and filter swap where it ran a coal black from the Leguna Seca sprint. I followed the attendants advice and saw the giant sequoias again at McKinley Grove. I continued further and found a lookout for brunch overlooking the impressive LeConte Divide. Here I met a man called Hal whose grandfather explored the region on the advice of John Muir, the accomplice of LeConte, the divide was named after. Muir’s story was on the plaque next to me. I said goodbye and continued to the beautiful Lake Courtright Reservoir where the road ended. With no way through I headed back and followed the highway to Lakeshore passing two beautiful lakes filled with tourists. I made a loop through the holiday cabin clad road to Big Creek - a tiny hydro town is built on a mountain ledge with a helipad on the end. I left the Sierra Forest amazed my the scenery and headed to Redinger Primitive Campground and had a skinny dip wash in the cold lake. A lucky jet skier passing moments after 🐵
