Wrightwood, CA

(Boyscout surveys the sunrise scene from Apache Saddle)

Greetings from mile 369: Wrightwood, CA. I've joined up with a gelataneous group that varies from 4-10, and we've been pounding some pretty fantastic landscape these past few days. Blisters have formed and popped and formed again, and every sunset and sunrise has been staggering. The trail angels (both intentional and impromptu) remain overwhelming in their humanity and generouisity.

I've created a Flickr account so as to share some more pictures (as I can only do 5 per blog here, and I ain't no blogoholic). You can check it out here. They are mostly in order (save the ones I had to edit and rotate) starting with most recent.

Also, I've added a link under Friends and Family for "Walk for Wildlands". They're an organization that raises money in order to procure and preserve tracts of wilderness. If you don't want to send me a box of cookies at Kennedy Meadows(winkwink), and even if you do, please consider donating to these guys! Once I'm off the trail and working again I plan to do the same; it doesn't seem right taking in all these staggering vistas without giving a little back.

Oh, and if you do want to send cookies or other hard to get items (dried papaya strips that resemble bacon, trader joe's dried banana halves etc), you can do so here:
