These images are from our thru-hike of the JMT in 98. We hiked from August 16 through September 3, southbound. The hike took 18 days to complete, covering about 220 miles. Solophile and I are indebted to Big Bird (of AT 97 fame) for the splendid hospitality in the Bay City, the time he took off to be our personal tour guide, and the great hitch out to Yosemite.

Dinner with Reruns and the German We met up with a few trail friends at Vermillion Valley. Reruns was there, as was the German. We had met both on our third day out (Reruns had been taking a snack break when we passed him climbing up to Sunrise Meadows and the German was tented behind us at Sunrise). One of the best treats of long-distance hiking is the friends you make. Another is a restaurant meal you didn't have to cook. |
