I'm on the way to Saint Lou E in a couple minutes. I'll be gone for a week, don't know if there is internet access in the hotel. Everyone have a great 4fth of July and be safe. And you Canadian friends have a good Canada Day.

see ya!

I'm right behind you. Heading to the hills of Mammoth CA to get back to nature, where a man can pee in the stream. Of course I wouldn't do that.

Peeing in the stream makes Brown Trout into the California Golden Trout - head on - I would assume that you are backpacking from Mammoth to Mineral King (riiiiiight)

drew365, you are heading into one of my favorite places in the world; the sierra nevada. wish i were going, too. of course, i wouldn't get very far, being fat and outa shape. where, specifically, are you headed? tell us, tell us! and post pics!
