JMT in 2011

OK, let's get this thing going again. Ron proposed the idea of doing at least a portion of the John Muir Trail in the summer of 2011. He and I will turn 40 by then, so this would be our "midlife crisis." Of course, we need to get in shape so it doesn't turn into a true crisis....

I would like to think we could take about 10-15 days and do half  of the 211 miles if we really put our mind to it. If we start at the north end, I'm not sure where that puts us. I hope it works out. What do you think?

Ol Grizz, I know you said you were interested in at least joining for some of the adventure. A ride to the hot tubs after would be fantastic!

Time to Blog, Mr. Gorr!

2009 Adenture Planning?

I would love to think we could do something this summer. Any chance Ol' Grizz might want to save his plane tickets for a trip back to the Midwest in late June or early July? I'm sure I could find a place for us to backpack. It would be a unique trip. I might be able to find a few to join us - take a short trek with kids (including Jackson)?
Ron and Jackson are planning to be out this way around late June anyway. Whadda ya say Grizz? I could look into the Porcupine Mountains or something around Sleeping Bear Dunes?

'05 Durango-Silverton – 41 miles of killer hike. 3- 13,000 ft. passes, 10 miles down hill thru 3 major deadfalls from winter avalanches-tough day, finally finished the trip on the narrow gauge railroad to Silverton-lots of thirsty hikers, a few beers fixed that. 5 to survive-Ron Gorr, Steve Fox, David Walker, Kyle Bernharty, Dave Fox , and 3 not to repeat Ron Blair, Ralph Loffler Sr. (bad knees) and Ralph Jr. . Steve did the rescue/messenger to help R&R out.
