Where is this bridge exactly? I haven't heard of another bridge outage on the JMT.

Any idea why the PCT and the JMT deviate there? Looks like they come back together at Thousand Island Lake.

Yes. At some point I'll post pics about my PCT weight loss program.

The problem is I know from experience that I have to do something different when I'm off trail.

I'm kind of experiencing the same hunger thing after losing 45lbs recently.

Per my hiking experience, I put it up there with Glacier National Park and the Wind Rivers, which were my two previous

Did you hike down the Lyell Fork to Tuolumne Meadows? I don't recall if the PCT is concurrent with the JMP in that area
