"Welcome, fellow backpackers! Get ready to join me on an epic journey like no other as I tackle the legendary John Muir Trail. Brace yourself, because this year we're facing Snowmageddon with record-breaking snowfall and water crossings that would give even Moses second thoughts. Yep, I'm certifiably insane!
But hey, who better to inspire you to step out of your cozy bubble? Let's embrace the great unknown, meet fascinating new souls, and push ourselves to the limit. And if we're lucky, we might just stumble upon nature's magical healing powers along the way.
As a seasoned solo backpacker, I've discovered firsthand the transformative escape from the relentless rat race. It's a simpler life, free from judgment, where challenges become stepping stones and personal growth is inevitable. Oh, and did I mention I'm a sleep connoisseur? Swinging in my feather-filled hammock, I've perfected the art of a good night's sleep amidst the elements. And don't even get me started on my meticulous obsession with every single gram—Hey, I'm no camel!
So, let's embark on this adventure together, where laughter, tears, and the occasional tumble are all part of the package. Because let's face it, life's greatest adventures are the ones that push us to our limits and leave us with unforgettable tales. Buckle up, folks, because we're about to make some extraordinary memories!"

Howdy! Love your photo atop my favorite summit at Yosemite. Went there with friend, late September 1980. View down to Half Dome incredible.
We drove from San Francisco late and arrived at shore of Lk Tenaya to March through willows for a lakeside sleep. Instead, I walked into a bear fleeing campers set up without protecting camp from bears! Next day we took trail to 1000
Island Lake, just east of Yosemite.
Ansel Adam’s Wilderness, just north of Minarets. And at foot of Ritter. Gorgeous place.
Have backpacked most of Washington Cascades and Olympics. And must include Ansel Adam’s Wilderness among the finest places I have seen.
