Our first night at Ruby lake was a pretty eventful one as Shveta got pretty sick from something she ate. We were pretty unsure as to whether we would be able to continue. The fortunate thing was that we had two doctors in the group who really helped out with the situation.
Early the next morning we woke up and Shveta decided that she wanted to continue. She is such a tough girl, I don't think I would've wanted to continue after a night full of vomiting. We had our toughest hike of the trip ahead of us. We would need to climb up and over Mono Pass at around 12,000', back down 1000', and then back up another 1200' to our campsite at Pioneer Basin. It was a grueling 8 miles, everyone in the group was totally exhausted by the time we hit camp, but the views and scenery were amazing. Shveta somehow made it through all that hiking, and we were booth looking forward to a well earned layover day.
