Looking back at the trail below. Just a short distant up I opted to call it quits, the wrap/bandages on my feet started to shift and get somewhat uncomfortable along with the trail getting a little harder to follow I felt best to head back. After a number of failed attempts from prior years...

The next morning it was a early up to reach my next stop at the KOA campground in Mt Shasta, California to do laundry and spend the next few nights so I could hike Mt Shasta after a number of failed attempts. The dork behind the camera. :ROFLMAO: Hazy skies behind me. Hikers...

Mammoth Lakes area - since I couldn't walk all that well I biked around the area. Made an attempt at riding the the Mammoth Loop trail but didn't have much luck trying to follow the trail. Camp that night was just on the outskirt of Mammoth at the Shady Rest campground, not...

Originally, I was going to stay at another campground outside of Bishops, California the falling day but due to the issues with my feet I felt it best to skip the campground and find a hotel to stay in. Once I had cell service the next day I made hotel arrangements but since I couldn't check in...

Weather station at the top of White Mountain. Right around this point I had to call it quits, about a thousand foot from the summit. The blister from the prior day had reformed, two new blisters had started to form on the same foot and a new blister was forming on the right side of my left...

Since the forest service had the road closed back to White Mountain you had to start the hike or ride back at a small parking area (if you could call it that) at the turn off to Patriarch Groove and start from there. I had thought about biking back to Barcroft Facility gate / parking area due to...

After more hours and miles on the road I made it to my next stop for the night Grandview Campground in California. After setting up camp (campground was sparsely populate) I headed back down to the road to see where the following day hike would take me. Come to find out the forest service...

Someone decided to cut their way in, can't help to think what they were after. Old structure just coming back into Kingston. After a quick break at the pond in Kingston to walk around some and to get some cell service I was headed back down the road to my next destination but not before...

Camp that night was even more quite than the night before, somewhat uncomfortable due to the humidity and it felt somewhat creepy for whatever reason. The next day I had planned to head over to the Boundary Peak to hike the highest peak in Nevada but due to the blister on my foot I got at the...

After leaving Great Basin National Park the next planned stop was just slightly further west just outside of Kingston, Nevada to ride a section of the Toiyabe Crest National Recreational Area and to spend the night at Kingston Campground. However, mother nature had other plans in store as the...

Camp for the night was at the Wheeler Peak Campground - completely full. The last time I was here this campground was still snowed in/not open for the season but despite being full the campground was still pretty quite. The following morning I planned to hike to Wheeler Peak, the 2nd highest...

Back in 2022 I had made plans for travel though California to attempt to hike Mt Shasta again and to hike White Mountain in California, finish driving a section of the LoLo trail in Idaho and to head back to ride the Bangtail Divide trail in Montana with out the smoke and to complete the last...

July 2023

Yes, just a day trip.

After hiking around the area a little more it was back to vehicle for a quick lunch. Now I had originally planned to do some hiking up at Independence Pass but given the weather situation (raining when I go up there) I opted to just come back another time to hike the trails along the pass...
