I really dont want to post right now but no one else will. whats new... Whoa! So anywhosies, we are in MAMMOTH! One of the few remaining vortex towns in California. Yes, once again we have found ourselves trapped by the ways of the "real" world, but dont worry, we are heading back to Reds Meadow soon to get back on trail! Just got cleaned up here at Charles house, our new friend who hiked the PCT back in 93! Only 11 thru hikers that year! I hear there are 400+ this year. We have been meeting more people and playing tag with a good group of dude and dudettes. What up Team Washington! Hola to Zoner(fish creek hotsprings were incredibe, thanks for sending us there!) And to Lumbar, Libido, Olivie, Laces, Naughty Eyes, Princess of Darkness, Disco, Slim, Inchworm, ASh, SAn Gabrial, Celebrated Mr. K, Croation Sensation, Traildude(.com), handlebar, the belgium waffles, waffles, suntan, and superdog, WHAT UUUUp!!!! hope to see everyone on(&off) trail! WHOOOA! We just finished the high sierras! 900 deep! All I can say is....Actually I cant say much at all! The high sierras were amazing. The John Muir Trail is epic. Mt Whitney! HUGE! Forester pass! MAthers was nuts! Suicide snow covered switchback!?! Who blazed that trail?! Well we ripped it. And i dont know if i speak for everyone when i say this, but it sure made me feel less like a boy and more like a real man. (they dropped. for real this time...) MMMM golden trout! everywhere! hard to catch with just your trekking pole tho. I hate climbing(hills) now. Let it be flat til Oregon! And may the mosquitos be non-existant...yeah right!!! they are getting bad! annnd its gettin hot again! DENA! THANK YOU FOR THE PACKAGE! The snacks helped us get thru VVR without spending any money! (well pedro(which is lukes trail name now) and cam both had to chop wood and dig holes for their hot meals, burke wasted no time in indulging, but i, i ate oatmeal in my tent and refused to give any money to those thieves!!! (everyone is trying very hard to save money) but the one free beer and free night stay was A-okay with me! BUT AGAIn! THANK YOU DENA!!!!! And thank you to everyone! Keep sending food! Lets see...where am I going with this....absolutly nowhere. sorry. CHECk out the hikertown website! OK! Ill update again later! WE are about to go get PIZZZZZA! THIS RULES! Pictures coming soon. as welll as a list of upcomming towns we may stop in...maybe. Peace and chicken grease yall!

A happy belated birthday to Mike S!
I'm sure you guys are hiking up a storm. It's nice having Michael home. I'm sure he'll be missing you all. He had a safe trip back. Let us know where you'll be so we can send some more homebaked goodies and update those pictures when you get the chance.

Hey Mike,

Firsties, happy birthday. Woot.

Second, I'm in Wyoming hitchhiking around and headed for portland. I wanna travel around so maybe I could find you and travel a couple miles of the trail with you. Not a high chance o it but worth discussing if you get a chance to call. 847-924-7718.
