I am in the early planning stages of a hike on the 185 mile Tahoe to Yosemite Trail. My window is the first half of August 2009. I don't have a ton of time to be away from my family so would like to cover it in 20 miles per day – approx 9 days. I am getting the guidebook soon and will start my detailed planning then.
I have hiked the JMT in 12 days so know what I am getting into and am pretty confident I can hike this one in 9 days.
I am 41, male, married and live in Bend, Oregon. We have two, 21 month old boys. We moved up here 5 years ago from LA and love it. I am into cross country skiing, running, cycling and of course backpacking.
Please feel free to e-mail me any questions. I am excited to meet some new hiking buddies!
