View from Mt Jenkins

This was taken on Thursday, June 18, while I was taking a short break after the plaque.

Commemorative Plaque

On Mt Jenkins, just after the saddle with Mt Morris. I took a bit of break shortly after this because it had been a long climb. Taken Thursday, June 18.

Walker Pass Monument

Walker Pass has some historical significance to it, explained on those plaques that I passed on Thursday, June 18. I can't remember exactly what it was. Oh well, thank goodness for Google!

Approaching Walker Pass

This was taken on Thursday, June 18, as I was descending to cross Walker Pass. It is the last pass before heading into the southern Sierras.

Blog Update

Hey All - I arrived in South Lake Tahoe late yesterday evening and I'll be staying here rest, relax, and recuperate for the next four days. During that time, I'm planning to post all my blog updates that I've been writing down since I started the Sierras more than 400 miles ago.

So thanks for your continued patience as I work around the technological limitations inherent to this hike. I hope you all enjoy reading the updates and viewing the photos as much as I enjoyed recording my experiences!

Update

This will be brief because I don't have much time on the internet and phone access is here is $2 a minute...ugh. 
 
I made it to Vermilion Valley Resort this morning.  After 10-11 days of hiking (I'm not sure which it is) including 175 PCT miles and an additional 16 miles to Mt. Whitney, I made it!  And yes, I'm extremely proud of myself because I don't know of anyone else who did that distance without getting off the trail to resupply in Independence or Bishop.  Next up is Tuolumne Meadows about 65 miles away.  I'm hoping to get there in 3-4 days.  I'm currently at Mile 877.2 and as of about 30 miles ago, I'm halfway to Oregon!
 
Anyway, I've got a ton of blog updates and photos to share, but still no way to post them until I'm back in civilization.  So it's not that I'm bored with providing updates, it's just that I'm technologically limited.
 
Hope you all are well and have a Happy Fourth tomorrow!
