Abandon Ship!!!

We are back from California unscathed. Not because we actually took any risks but because we were both too sick to do much of anything. Sad as neither of us have been sick in over a year and then on the dawn of our two week adventure. Bam. I'm surprised actually that we had it together enought to even embark on the trip with the thought that we might still complete some portion of the tour. Alas, as Ryan was recovering I hit the worst of the illness which could only be described as some horrible combination of the flu and a cold. Well we had a good time anyway. Following are pictures from our abbreviated trip in California.

The route


A little too small to see anything?

Well this is our route. It is from Sierra Mountain Center. I know it is too small to see much of anything but I think if you click on it you can see a little bigger image. Maybe.

Sierra Trip Planning

Well we have decided on our route which will take us over ~40 miles in the Sierras from Mammoth Lakes on north up toward Tioga Pass. We are basing our route on the one used by the Sierra Mountain Center for their 5 day trip. Been easy planning so far since we are using a route already described by a couple different sources but we are still working out the shuttle, food, etc.
