Thanks for posting. It was great to spend a bit of time with you in this, one of my favorite spots in the Sierra. That was a special evening as a bunch of people assembled in a way that doesn’t always happen in the backcountry. As much as I enjoy solitude at times, I also treasure the unanticipated wilderness meetings like this one. Glad to hear the rest of your trip was successful.

Some of my photographs have turned up at my photography blog: http://www.gdanmitchell.com/. (Ironically, having just returned from a week in New York City, a place about as different from Tyndall Creek as one can imagine, you’ll have to back track through a number of recent posts to get to the Tyndall Creek and related imagery. You can also see a LOT of my Sierra and other photography at my gallery site, accessible from a link in the sidebar at the blog.)

Dan

I enjoyed your company and your generousity. Bacon, apple slices, cheese and Jolly Ranchers were enjoyed all the way to the top of Whitney. Feel free to visit my Facebook page if you’d like to see some of my pictures. I have a couple that I will send to you, including a shot of the “clown tent”. Thanks for adopting a solo hiker for an evening and making me feel so welcome.

But, I’m not. So, I’d like to take this time to thank you for allowing me to share your trip in a less physically exhausting way!! Less mosquito bites, too *grin*

Stupendous scenery, the Sierras lived up to their awesomeness. At the tops of the passes and at camp we met quite a few people, almost regular lunch and dinner social hours. ;-) We also got a bit of cleanup/water-sports in at the lakes or streams we were at. Another fantastic over 10,000ft High Sierras trip!

Looks like I was backpacking Shepherd Pass around the same time as you guys were last year. Explored the Upper Kern. See my photos at

Remember warmly Mount Langley with you and Mo back in ’98 or ’99, and Onion Valley to Mt Whitney in 2000.

I hope you had plenty of adventures on the rest of the trip!!!

Army Pass, on my way out, was pretty neat and easier to go down than New Army Pass. Both Soldier Lake and Cottonwood Lake No. 5 were neat places to stay!

I posted pictures I took on the Cottonwood Lakes trip on my website – http://www.websailor.org – scroll down the bottom where I post the newest links.

It was my first time up this high in the Sierras so it was great to get the experience. Afterwards I even got to meet Dan!!!
