My plan is to head out on the JMT starting 8/4/10.
I have a permit reservation for 2 persons but will only pickup for one.
All my resupply has been mailed.
I have been training at Stone Mountain GA since Mid April.
My problem has been injuries to various leg muscles and tendons during training.
Some physio-therapists have taken a personal interest in keeping me up and training, for which I thank them greatly.
However I can't be 100% sure that I will stay fit for all 222 miles to Whitney Portal. Hopefully I can bail if necessary and failing that, I can use my Spot 911.
My food supply covers 25 days.
My schedule is Happy Isles 8/4
Tuolumne Meadows 8/7
Reds Meadow 8/11
MTR 8/15
Whitney Portal 8/25
(I read a thread on yahoo where they made Tuolumne Meadows in one day)
The above does not include zero days which I plan to take close to food
sources to conserve resupplies.
I feel sure that I will be passed by hikers starting days after me. So if you
see an older guy slowly making it to the top of a pass, that'll probably be me, and I might need encouragement.
