Fatigue setting in ...

A run at the travertine hot springs this morning, and a run/hike on the Tahoe Rim Trail. Maybe come back some day an do all 165 miles.

Day 6 ... Massive thunderstorms and snow up high

Well what do you do when it's pouring rain? Break down camp and head to Schat's bakery.

Day 5 in the Sierras

A 15k run/hike to North Dome. Spectacular views and Indian Rock was pretty cool as well. Fatigue is starting to set in. A great father-daughter time.

End of day four ...

Lucy hiked Tioga Peak, Gaylor Peak, and did a 6 mile run to Mono Lake ... Nice to be 18 and fit!

Day 4 in the Sierras

A quick breakfast; hike up Tioga Peak; stop at the bookstore in Lee Vining; a conference call with Ian Symmonds, and then off to Mammoth. I wish I brought my ski mountaineering year!

Day 2 ... east side of the Sierras

Travertine Hot Springs, ice cream in Walker, dinner at Mobil, and then heading up to Tioga Pass to camp in the Sawmill River campground. A great day.

Day 2 in Squaw Valley

After a 90 minute hike, and Lucy's 45 minute ski, we took the tram down, and headed for Yosemite.
