It’s a warm summers day, I’m home and with the one I love. Sunbeams sparkle across an elaborate spread of food, hmm…where to begin? Dessert? A cold iced tea? I reach for both and in doing so I knock the gorgeously tall glass of tea over. As it pours over and splashes on to me … More Mile 906.5 Reds Meadow to mile 1090.5 South Lake Tahoe

  I awoke to the sight of bright flashes accompanied by the sound of distant thunder! I scurried out of my tent and made sure that I had battened down the hatches. All seemed well as re-entered my tent fortresses and settled back in to my sleeping bag slumber. The sounds of soft rain drops … More Mile 744.5 Lone Pine to mile 906.5 Reds Meadow/Mammoth Lakes

 After missing the first pass junction down to Lone Pine I found myself running down the next pass in hope of seeing some type of road.

After a really emotional goodbye I set out on the trail with Mike aka “The Juggernaut” It was 12pm and storming so we pressed on quickly throughout the day and into the darkness. We reached mile 20 at 10pm by headlamp … More Mile 0 Campo to mile 42.5 Mount Laguna
