JMT Class of 2012 - Who's going?

[Cookerhiker]

Didn't see a thread on this year's prospective JMT thruhikers yet so here goes:

We're starting from Tuolumne Meadows on August 18. Beforehand, we plan to basecamp in a Forest Service CG, do dayhikes to acclimate, and slackpack the JMT's 23 miles between Tuolumne and Yosemite Valley in 2 trips. The long one will be starting on Sunrise Lakes Trail at Tenaya Lake, hiking to Sunrise Camp, and then NOBO down the JMT to Yosemite Valley where we'll spend the night and take the shuttle back to Tuolumne.

Planning resupply stops at Reds Meadow and Muir Ranch.

We have BearVault 500 canisters.
