And my whole role in life is to give them an identity crisis. :)

Uh, he doesn't look like he's having an identity crisis.
He also looks real well fed. :(Oct 25, 2011 at 7:15 pm #1795038Well fed. Yes, it looked this way after leaving a place called Sphinx Lakes in Kings Canyon National Park.

3mm slippery polyester to avoid cutting through the bark.

I wouldn't be surprised. Have you been up that way lately? I've been wondering how much it's changed since it got discovered by the hordes 25 years ago.

No, but I've been over Avalanche Pass a couple of times.
I always see people as long as I am on one of the reasonable trails. Get off the beaten track a little, and there's nobody.

I used to think that, too. But more and more people are getting into some formerly deserted off trail places. Sphinx Lakes was getting that way 25 years ago, which is why I haven't been back.
