Thanks, BSquared! Yeah, the mosquitoes were really bad there, but the funny thing about upper Lyell Canyon was that we started out from the T.M. backpackers' camp that morning and went thru the whole canyon with virtually no mosquitoes. Then when we got to the switchbacks just below the bridge area they came out in full force! I stopped to put on some deet, only to find that the lid to my sun-screen had popped off and was leaking in my pack... this mess had to get cleaned up, and as I did they literally surrounded me like a cloud; I'd NEVER seen mosquitoes that bad!
Well, Hi there, Jim!!! Hope things are going well for you ! I realized it would be a longshot to meet-up with you at the Rae Lakes...I knew you'd be busy this time of year. When I gave the note to Dave, the LeConte Ranger, he wasn't even sure if you'd receive it before I went thru. Anyway... it was a wonderful, memorable trip! I still haven't found a location that offers Yoga classes yet (or at least classes with an instructor with any credentials...); I'm going to continue running stadiums, though. I had NO knee problems on this trip, and usually the downhill really takes it's toll on my knees (even with hiking poles); I'm convinced it was because of running up AND down the stadium stairs. Anyway...when things settledown, let me know how you're doing.
