Quick question, I'll be in the Sierra's doing the JMT in July. What are you plans for the San Joaquin bridge?

It was destroyed last year and you either skip Muir Pass, Evolution Valley and take an alternate or go way around to the east adding about 36 miles.

I'm hoping to ford the river somewhere and that be July 8-9th it will be ok. But you'll likely be there sooner.

Have you thought that far ahead?

Respect. Longest I did was 26.2 miles in a day and then I was done. I was dead for days. My feet still haven’t healed
