I resupplied in Pinedale. It was a nice hike down, and an easy hitch from the popular trailhead. It was a great town to reapply, having all I needed, including a good outfitter.

> At the beginning of Seg 13, (just north of the trailhead) leave the regular route and follow the Big Sandy Trail NE for about 5 miles. It will hit the CIrque of the Towers route at Big Sandy Lake, mile 11.0. of the cirque of the Towers route. Follow the trail around the north end of the lake and follow signs to Jackass Pass. That will take you where you want to go.
