The hills are alive

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.
First three days may well be cartwheeled the way I'm feeling.
A bit over a year since the shake-up, there's much to celebrate. Sierra Nevadas are one of the grandest places on earth to reflect, and sing.

- 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.
