Though I intend to submit a full tale of the High Sierra complete with bear-in-the-face encounters and replete with details of giant John Muir Trail stairs and successfully fishing with trekking poles, I have been without either charged phone or internet/phone service. Tuolumne had a rock slide, Red's and Kennedy Meadows were stingy with service, and the power was even knocked out here until late last night.
In short, my feet are still firmly on the trail, bending me forward to Sierra City and beyond. I've found excellent new friends and, strangely, people with whom I am willing to hike! More to follow.
