Histo-Karl hiked mostly alone from Onion Valley to Mammoth, entering Mammoth via Ducks Pass and Lake Mary rather than Reds Meadows, on June 24. He spent a relaxing day in Mammoth and headed for Tuolumne Meadows, the end of the JMT for PCT thru hikers (unless they take a side trip to the Valley). He arrived in Tuolumne June 27, picked up his huge box of resupplies, spent the night, and is leaving this afternoon (Thursday, June 28) with Spud and Snausage (see Snausage in the photo at the left with Histo). It's 105 miles to Ebbetts Pass, but Karl will turn off about 6 miles before the pass to go to Highland Lakes to meet Mom and Lena for the 4th of July. Then it will be on toward Tahoe. The hat in the photo below is a goner, so he'll be sporting a wide-brim one in future pics. Happy trails, Karl!
