Re: Lurkers Please Introduce Yourself
Hey-owdy folks, just found this site and am thankful for the wealth of information contained within. My partner and I been mountain-hopping since we met living in Durango, Colorado. We moved to Big Sur for two years, and then hopped on our bicycles last February and started pedaling East. We hit the Atlantic in St Augustine, FL 3 months later. One month later we started sobo on the AT, and finished the trail in November. Now we are in the Portland, OR area doing the work thing, saving up for another summer of trekking as much as possible through the Sierras and Rockies. Looking forward to contributing someday to the already staggering amount of knowledge here.

Cool blog David, we also enjoy trip reports from places outside of the Sierra too, just use the "Beyond The Sierra Nevada" section
at the bottom of the main page.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: Lurkers Please Introduce Yourself
Hello,
This site is a great resource! I recently moved back to Southern California, and am planning a couple of trips back to the Sierra this summer. I spent a couple of summers all over the area as a teenager but haven't been back since. The information in the TRs and maps has been very helpful, and I look forward to posting some of my own this summer!

Re: Lurkers Please Introduce Yourself
The name is Terry and I am new to backpacking. I am going to a university in Canada and came to California for an internship. Now my internship is about to end so I am eager to get some backpacking trip happening. I would hate to miss the great Sierra mountains and not spend one night in it before my departure. I have gotten some very useful information in this forum and I hope one day I can contribute to it.

Hi Terry,
Thanks for the intro Terry. Really hope you get a taste of the Sierra before you leave, but do understand, it takes one
good trip and you will be hooked for life.
We have a "Beyond The Sierra Nevada" section at the bottom of the main page, we would really enjoy to read about
your adventures in Canada, past or future.

Re: Lurkers Please Introduce Yourself
Hey Guys,
Just joined this board as I am looking to start heading out into the sierra and explore the mountains. I started backpacking last year and was instantly addicted and have been planning 1-2 trips each month since then. Hoping to meet some people and gain some knowledge through this board! Looking to head out on my first Sierra trip this weekend, but the weather heading in is making me a bit nervous. I'll keep my eyes on the weather and hopefully be able to post a trip report soon.

Re: Lurkers Please Introduce Yourself
Hello all,
I've been frequenting these forums a bit more of late and thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Roger, I'm a Midwestern transplant that moved to Bakersfield almost 2 years ago. I was seeking someplace to live where I could weekend in the mountains rather than taking my precious vacation time and hard earned money flying across the country in search off a temporary backpacking paradise. I ventured out on the High Sierra Trail after my interview here and was instantly sold. Since then I've had perhaps two dozen trips to the High Sierra, logging many miles both on and off trail, including a JMT through hike in 2013 and several summits including a winter mountaineering route on Whitney earlier this year.
I've greatly appreciated all the information contained on this forum and am hoping to contribute as I can. Perhaps nothing novel considering the breadth of experience here, but if nothing else maybe I can assist with trip and conditions reports.
I also have been honing my skills as an amateur panoramic photographer, positing 360x180 spherical panoramas on 360cities.net. Those of you who can spend hours perusing Google Earth like myself can see many of them sprinkled through the High Sierra, just turn on the "360cities" label on the Gallery layer, and look for little red circles with "360" marked on them. Alternatively, my profile is linked below.
