My kids make fun of me because I played for the Burroughs Burros. Class of '83.

I would have preferred something like Sidewinders. Would have been a cooler

How do you handle the loneliness? A few years ago I went hunting and was alone

Do you bring books or just read on your phone? I know you brought audiobooks

May 17, 11:30pm

Just audio books. Listening to The Count of Monte Cristo right now.

Just guessing, but over 20 miles it feels like I climb about 4,000' and descend about 4,000.

Almost to the Sierra. Still a decent amount of snow. I'm nervous for July 1st, can't imagine doing it in May/June.

May 17, 11:03pm

Good luck. You'll be fine by then. It is melting fast. I was up in Mammoth last

The South Fork of the San Joaquin bridge was destroyed last Spring. That is where I am super nervous.

May 18, 4:37am

This is one that I still need to

Which detour are you thinking Mozey? Paiute and Bishop pass?

May 18, 8:28pm

Exactly. PCTA is recommending a detour to the east using Bishop and Piute Passes. I have not looked at the details yet

Mozey

May 18, 9:22pm

Saw on my FarOut app where someone tried to cross downstream from the bridge a couple days ago.

Mozey

May 18, 9:31pm

Wow, they tried to ford it this early in the season?! I've got FarOut for the JMT which I think is the same as you are

May 18, 10:08pm

I would probably try and go Alpine Col and down Paiute canyon

Darwin bench > Evolution Valley?

May 18, 8:29pm

I've been there twice. It is ok.
