I keep hearing voices...

Postby maxpower88 » Mon Sep 17, 2012 8:37 am

...and they say the same thing over & over “come to the Sierra and wonder around my son"


I thought I would take a walk from Reds Meadow to Silver Lake on the PCT and see what popped up along the way. Check it out.

It is a huge mess back there but the trail crews have done an outstanding job at clearing everything off the trail. Bravo!

Yeah dude, 29.4 miles & it was just me, I barely saw any people out there at all and had Davis Lake to myself (you should have seen the fish jumping at dusk). Unless you want to count the bear that payed me a visit around 2am at Agnew Meadow while I was sleeping.
Cowboy camping while a bear is snorting around your campsite is exciting to say the least, I took this shot in the morning (still alive).
