Still can't drive. But I can hike.I'm making long overdue walk happen.
Can't afford to, but can't afford not to.
Rough route: Yosemite to Donner Lake(ish) , 20(ish) days.
Fly to SF Aug 25.
Wildflowers and redwoods, diamond and burgundy tarns and that joyous Ansel Adams rounded granite.

- Pic isn't Pacific Crest (John Muir trail negs from 93 are 'archived' somewhere in my shed, a far more risky trip in there than any above-the-treeline foray!) it's from the Rockies - Grand Teton NP more specifically, 04.
