900 - 1000 miles and a little ol' place called Yosemite



"Don't look at it !!!  It be from the Devil I tell ya!!!" This was on an alternate PCT route to the Devil's Post Pile.  Nature does some really cool stuff.

It was a little too cold to go swimming and we could have used it because we were quite filthy. 


Thousand Island Lake

Sometimes we thought that car headlights were shining into our tent but it was just the Moon.  When the Moon is bright Possum usually has to cover his eyes when he sleeps.

Almost Awesome at Donohue Pass as we head towards the valley into Yosemite National Park

Tadaaa!!!!  This is beautiful.  


In Yosemite our surroundings, as usual, changed.  There were broader canyons that had bigger meadows and the granite mountains were smooth and pillowy and were streaked with black.

Good morning world!

Yosemite is visually AMAZING but we were a little overwhelmed with all of the people we encountered.  It is weird to just see a handful of other thru-hikers for days and then be surrounded by fresh smelling people who only eat half of their snack because the other half fell on the ground.  We aren't complaining (we need people being active in nature because that increases the number of people who want to protect it) it's just weird!

Sometimes we just have to stop and smell the flowers in the beautiful garden………...


………. and do a little yodeling.
