Camping north of Forester Pass

I'm doing Kearsarge to Whitney later this month. Any suggestions on where to camp on the way up Forester? I know there's a sizeable lake just below the crest -- I don't love the idea of sleeping that high up, but I'd be curious to hear from people who have done it.

Davis Lakes or Marie Lakes

Looking for some insight from people who appreciate a quiet camp. I'm doing JMT Nobo from Reds to Yosemite next week and planning to make some adjustments to the usual itinerary.

I've camped at Thousand Island Lake. It's gorgeous. It's crowded. Glad I did it but I don't need to camp there again.

Currently planning to camp at Ediza Lake on Day 1, and Day 2 considering Davis Lakes or Marie Lakes once I get to Island Pass. Can anyone share insights on either of these spots? Love this area but haven't done these detours and I'd appreciate input.

My weekly feel-good Fit story

Took my 2015 in for a quick thing today.

Mechanic: How long have you had it? Runs great! Looks great!

Me: Bought it 12 years ago and haven't had any issues. None at all.

Mechanic: The only thing you gotta worry about with this car is someone else crashing into you.

Love my trusty Fit. Dependable dream car.

The wave

Seemed weaker than usual yesterday! Did our typical wave leaders party too hard and miss the game? Lot of newcomers in other sections?

And while we're here: "two shots" is not our chant :)

New pain around ribs/serratus anterior

Hi all, tried googling and I haven't found much. Been deadlifting with a trainer for about 4 months. Started with trap and moved to conventional barbell about a month ago, making steady progress. I'm 38m, 215lbs.

Last week I maxed at 305 lbs and felt some tightness on one side of my ribs on my last set. Trainer says form looks good, flat back, lats pulled back (I unfortunately don't have a video).

I noticed lingering discomfort throughout the week, but no intense pain. Yesterday I lifted again and felt it more prominently on both sides at 225, well below my max. I would describe it almost like a bruising feeling on the lower ribs, and still feeling it today. Totally new feeling so I'm unsure what to think. It's not affecting breathing, but it's enough to force some rest days.

Think my bracing is decent but I know my core needs work. For background, I also have some rib flare which I suspect is part of this, and anterior pelvic tilt that I'm working. I don't lift with a belt.

Any ideas on what this could be? Core strength not catching up to the rest? I'm talking to my PT next week but figured someone here could point me in the right direction.

Costochondritis came up in research, but the pain is toward the outer/lower ribs, not the sternum. Thanks for any help.
