Made it out of the (big) Mountains

Found some service here in Red's Meadows near Mammoth Lakes so I'll send a quick update. My Heineken beer can cook pot sprung a few leaks during this last stretch, so I'm enjoying 710ml of heaven in the name of 'equipment repairs'. Tough life.... This last stretch has been big in every way. Big elevation gains, big views, big snow fields, big days. Really really truly beautiful country out here. I spent a few days nearly all above 11000 feet and above treeline, complete with countless creek fords, epic views, and high mountain passes with snow - the longest being Muir Pass with about 6 Miles all walking on the snow. So great.

    Sounds Awesome. So Jealous! By the way, your last updated position in in Arkansas... did you know that? I guess there is a town there called Mammoth Spring and your phone got confused.

    Cheers,

    Brian

    I guess the side trip to Arkansas explains why we didn't hear from you for soooo long....Glad you made it over the mountain. Looking forward to talking to you and seeing more pics. Take care.
    Love Mom

    FYI.....The distance from Mammoth Lakes, Calif. to Mammoth Spring, Ak. is a mere 1894.56 miles by highway driving.
    Feet sore, yet???
