More on leaving the PCT, and getting back on it... and change a few things.

Relieved, and home.

Sick and tired.

A very long hike on a very long and waterless day

A superfast and hot day along downhill trail

A great lunch today at Drakesbad, best so far on the PCT, and easy and interesting hiking

Stay in motel until checkout. Walk 9 miles and call it a day.

Quick and dirty hike into Chester

Decent day of hiking for a burger and a beer near Bucks Lake, California

Yummy breakfast. Long hiking. Swimming in the river

Easy hiking along the ridgelines north of Sierra City

A day of resupply, bookended by hiking

So. Many. Wildflowers. A wonderful day walking along the ridgelines north of Donner Pass towards Sierra City. One of my favorite days so far on the trail.

Another fine day of hiking along the Tahoe high country, past Truckee and to the north of Interstate 80

A long yet moderate day cruising through the mountains west of Lake Tahoe

Half day in Tahoe, then back on the trail!

A fantastic bubbly double trail magic day walking along the scenic ridges south of Lake Tahoe

A wonderfully warm day through unexpected rugged and scenic volcanic terrain with heaps of spring wildflowers.

Making good time through varied volcanic and granitic terrain

A nero day--drying out in south Tahoe, then back on the trail for a wonderful evening hike five miles north of Sonora Pass.

Scooting through the cool rain up and over big misty mountains to Sonora Pass

Woo hoo. I've been feeling the trail rhythm today.

An unexpectedly strenuous day through the northern backcountry of Yosemite National Park.

A soggy start to a good day

i start late, and rush a bit too much, and hike a lot.
