After a light breakfast we broke camp and started this Sauturday  morning with a strenuous one and a half hour of steady up to reach the top of New Army Pass at 12,300 feet.  New magnificent vistas opened to us as we crossed over closer to Mount Whitney.   10.1 miles later we arrived at Rock Creek - our stop for the night.  This afternoon gave us a four hour rain shower.  After the rains quit all of the wood around us was quite wet.  It took the combined skills of all four of us to get an evening campfire going.
