Soda Spring near Reds Meadow. Wish I would have brought some gin.

Finally getting proper use of my super expensive rain gear. Mosquitoes can't bite through, which is a nice bonus. Not that there were many mosquitoes near this stretch.

Not a whole lot of snow.

One of the many beautiful lakes around 10,000 feet. The mosquitoes came out in full force, and an ant bit my balls.

Done hiking for now

Well I hiked 700 miles of the PCT. Including non-PCT hiking I have walked around 900 miles in vibram five fingers. For a first time hiker I would say that is pretty good. I'm done hiking for now. Hiking alone in the Sierras is just too lonely, and there are other things I would like to do this summer. After I arrive home I will refine this blog to include more than just pictures. It has been an insane couple of months.

South Sierra here we are.

Burn areas and blue skies provide such a beautiful contrast.

This is my preferred tread to hike on.

Hiking with some bros, and stopping for a quick break, we noticed a giant black widow.
I definitely was not going to cowboy camp on this stretch.

I should have jumped in.

Had to skip from Agua Dulce to Hiker Town due to the Power Station Fire.
If there ever were a section to skip, that was it.

Smoke from the Power Station Fire obscuring the sunset.
