Stage 6

Drove west out of Wrightwood around 8 am. Past the Blue Ridge KOM. Team Velocity had an eight man posse climbing up the hill. Stopped at the Pacific Crest Trail head parking. Only one other car blaring loud music. I could feel it in the air. This wasn't it. Drove on to Dawson's Saddle. More life. Yep this was it. Elevation 7931 feet.
