Mile ?- Donner Pass/ Truckee, Ca

I made it back to Mammoth after my family reunion and decided to go north from there, then come back to the high Sierrra in early August- when the streams aren't running fast and high. There have been a few interesting stream crossings and the mosquitos have begun to hatch, but as of right now, I've made it to the wonderful hospitality of Poohbear(AT '96) and his wife who share their home and food with hikers!

Oh, Yosemite....

Thankfully, there was a bridge over this stream/river

The mosquitos have officially hatched- 1/2 Ounce during a break

The stream crossing where I lost a trekking pole- it was about waist deep
