Jay,
What/where is that reddish mound of scree? With all of the exposed granite I sometimes forget about the other geologic formations in the Sierras.
TomFeb 12, 2009 at 7:48 pm #1477498Jay,
Enough already with these dribs and drabs of your trip!! You've shown us a few pretty pictures, while professing that those were the best 14 days of your life, but I want a proper trip report about your JMT hike. No more of these half measures. Now quit messing around and invest some time into doing it right. I want photos, captions, gear list, and Colin Fletcher type inspirational prose describing the majestic views from the passes and magic of alpenglow on the exposed granite. You owe it to us and you owe it to yourself.Tom
P.S. I'd really would appreciate it since I'm sitting here in PA watching the last bit of snow melt into the muddy little hills and trying to live vicariously through others on BPL after having put my three kids to bed.
Feb 12, 2009 at 8:38 pm #1477517Ditto! Get with it Jay!
Feb 12, 2009 at 10:32 pm #1477545Thomas that is Red Cone just past Reds Meadows….and for a trip report-well?? I am not the best story teller or spellur for that matter. A picture speaks a thousand words.
I took a journal with me and wrote every night. I took notes on the wildlife I saw which was the most important thing to me. Like I saw 24 total Deer and 5 Elk. Hummingbirds, falcons, hawks, quail, marmots, ducks, one Garter snake, 3 different types of lizards, one coyote, frogs, trout and one very large harry spider in my TENT!!!! Oh yea and lot of bats right before sunset. I really want to hike the JMT again I just need to find the time.
THe JMT is truly a hike of a lifetime!!!Feb 13, 2009 at 4:29 pm #1477679from '05 solo:
enjoy.

Really gives me a nice smile on my face as I grind it out in my cube at work. :)

Feb 22, 2009 at 6:50 pm #1479920Feb 22, 2009 at 8:04 pm #1479937Awesome pics! You going back this summer?
Feb 22, 2009 at 8:19 pm #1479941Jay,
With all these great photos that you have, you should seriously think about putting a photo essay together about your own trip with a bit of narration.
You can toss up a few each day and keep adding to it.
I would love to see and hear a bit more about your solo trip.
Create a full story to show the JMT from start to finish.
