So, the Sierra is absolutely beautiful, impressive, stunning, or just insert your own adjective. None of the pictures can even remotely grasp how awesome it is to hike through here. The silence is bliss at night. Half moon, stars, the creeks, frogs, bats, birds…this town is almost a torment to my senses, its hard to readjust. I'm currently in mammoth lakes, 1/3 of the way through the PCT. Some guys from a brewery let me and 4 friends crash at their camp site…while writing this next to the campfire, a coyote just walked up to me in the dark and ran off when I turned on my headlamp. But still haven't seen a bear, even though a 5 year old girl saw one out the window on the bus ride here while I was trying to fight nausea standing up. The mosquitos are a very serious burden, but the bug free times are well worth the fight.
