High Sierra Topix

Had a chance to spend two nights at Lower Pines in Yosemite with a friend. We're both somewhat "handicapped" and "Been there, done that", so we 'chilled' in the campground for two days talking. I was going to go to Lundy Canyon before going home, but decided against it since my wife wasn't familiar with it and I was by myself, so I drove Tioga road....just because.

Great !! Keep it up !

Awesome pictures of some beautiful country.

Thank you for the fine photos again. What is the first photo of? A teapot, I don't see a spout.

It's my MSR teapot but the spout is hidden. I don't care for tea, I use it to boil water for coffee!

That's terrific Mike !

Awesome, man. The wild places missed you.

Congratulations Mike!
I am so happy you are back out in the wilds again!
It might only be a slight comfort but your story and the story of others that have contracted Lyme disease has raised awareness among the hiker crowd as well as doctors. The symptoms can be baffling to many.. even doctors!
This year several hikers got bit by ticks and developed the tell tale "bullseye" ring that precedes infection. Luckily they caught it early and got treatment(antibiotics). The trailangel "MountainGoat" even made flyers warning of the ticks and detailing the symptoms, posting them at trail heads along the PCT.
The only reason I knew what to watch out for was because I knew about Hikin' Mike.
I know that ain't much comfort to you, but you might have helped a lot of people just by telling your story on HST.
Cheers Bro!

Very cool....stay wild!!! Watch out for ticks and fleas.....
