John Muir Trail

[Snowflea]

Just completed the JMT yesterday, 7/31 - 8/9, 9.5 days at a relatively leisurely, backpacking pace. A bit more on my blog here www.runsuerun.blogspot.com but, alas, no photos until I return home after Labor Day.

Wonderful trail, scenery, weather... one mosquito sighted the whole trip... ascent of Half Dome Just a great trip.

Hope everyone is having a great summer!

Half Dome was awesome, Giggy. It was one of those "if I think about this too much, I'll wimp out" experiences. What made it scarier was all the other people doing it at the same time. (Note to self: next time go early or late!) The cables were surprisingly grippy with work gloves, a pile of which are at the bottom. Some people didn't use gloves and wished they had.

SB, I miss y'all too, but winter? Brrrr. BTW, you could have a pink blog, too (heehee), but you'll have to go a long way to sit in that particular Barbie car. You'd never believe where it was taken. Hmmm......

Way cool Sue - someday I really want to do that trail - great scenery, remote, etc...
Tuco should have just hit the trail southbound for Whitney an hour or so ago.
