Wonderful pictures . Thank you . I hiked from Mex . border to S Lake Tahoe in 2004 . Went through here with a girlfriend . We had a bear encounter ( and cub ) at Rush Creek . Spooked me . Next day I RACED to Tuolumne so as to get to sleep , ' indoors ' . . . did not know about tents : " Tents you say ? " I have balance to complete to Manning . Maybe next year as early as possible I can get started and see where it takes me . Thank you again for sharing these many , many wonderful shots . Inspiring and warms my heart .
