That initial ascent out of the valley up to Relief Reservoir is a killer. Some fantastic fishing though up there in those lakes.

Spent a lot of time around Mammoth. So much to see. Looks like Devil's postpile.

I did not--that was the second bridge over the San Joaquin that I had to detour around but

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

I think this one is by Devil's Postpile

Interesting, I see that on the FarOut App but that looks like it is a section where the PCT/JMT are separate.

North Yosemite looks nice right now. The waterfall by Glen Aulin is roaring

are you losing wt as you go? My hikes seem to be helping me trim down a bit.

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

Mozey

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

Mozey

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