Made it to Lake Tahoe, 1100 miles into this little hike. Still the first group and will probable be one of the first people to complete the trail this year.

The HIGH HIGH Sierra's

The Kilt and the Paddle can't get much higher than this in the lower 48!

Made it out of the high sierras and currently taking a zero day in Mammoth Lakes. First group through the sierras which means all the next resupply places are still closed because there is so much snow in the area. Next stop is tuolumne meadows and then forward to South Lake Tahoe for some much deserved All You Can Eat joints.

Just sent out another Memory card so videos and pictures of the high Sierras should be up in the next few days.

And Yes, I did climb Mt. Whitney in a kilt and carrying a paddle!

Hitching A Ride Back

High Snow / Sun in the Sierra's

Just got a call from Shay this morning. They are just above Lone Pine taking a couple of zero days because of high snow and sun-poisoning. Snow + Sun = Sun-Poisoning. they dropped off the trail for a couple of days to recoup and get sun screen. Post-holeing avery 10 steps makes for every slow going.

"Half way done with the high sierras, we spent the last 80 miles postholing and making first track as we are the first group to tackle the mountains. Summited Mt. Whitney and forester pass, making first tracks up both."

It appears they are the lead group this summer so no packed trail to follow. Stream crossings are going ok with 100' of line for the more troublesome crossings.

They have about 113 miles to Mammoth Lakes and from there the Sierra's should get easier.

They did make a side trip to the Top of Mt. Whitney where the sky was clear and calm. The photo's of these should be coming in about 6- 7 days.

The Videos of Kennedy Meadows should be up in a couple of days, so stay tuned.
