Good luck Ellen. BUT THIS THREAD WILL BE BETTER WITH PICS.

Howdy Tracie,

Don't worry, I'm buying a camera specifically for the JMT. Calicokat Jim gave me a hard time as well. Just can't promise that my pictures will be as good as his or yours.

Hard to take bad pictures with that itinerary.

I'm day-hiking Whitney on Aug 14 so maybe we'll cross paths.

Ellen, stay safe on your JMT hike. I would love to see photos when you are finished. I haven't done a JMT thru-hike since '06 and it's the experience of a lifetime. Good luck!

I will pass you when you are a couple of days from Whitney. I like to hike Northbound. Have a great trip.

Ellen,

Congratulations!!

Can't wait to hear and see all about your experience. It sure has been fun watching you make your trek.
