I am very pleased to announce that I was able to take a two night backpack into Emigrant Wilderness 7/20-22. It was a very short trip but considering that I year ago I couldn't do a 2 mile dayhike, this is the most awesome trip I have ever taken...I'm still in the game. I have a ways to go to be in good shape but I can at least get out there!
Feeling very Blessed.
P.S. I'll put up a trip report soon

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: Getting back in shape after a full season layoff
I just realized that I have not posted up that TR...I'll work on that. However, I have a permit to hike from Mono/Parker to Cottonwood lakes via Miter Basin and Langley on July 7 and am well on my way to getting in shape I'm up to 22# and going 5-8 miles a day with 300-1100 of elevation. My body is slowly remembering how to this and, to quote "Chicago", I'm feeling stronger every day. plan to be up to 50# by mid June which should make my 42# (typical packout for 7 days) feel like I'm naked by July.
