Thanks for the write-up and especially the photos.  Takes me back to 
my Sierra hiking days mid-1970's!  1977 I logged nearly 500 miles in 
the mountains (every weekend).  I think there were less crowds back 
then.  Solo hiking was quiet-serene.  I also backpacked with the JPL 
Hiking Club back then.  We sumitted Mt. Whitney 14,000+ but that is a 
"walk up" hike.  But you really feel the altitude above 13,500 where 
we dropped our packs.  I hiked with 60-lbs back then.

Only took a 2m-HT in those days.  Made SF area from Lassen crater 
rim.  Wish I could still do the hiking but only drive the high roads, now.
Where we live in AK the terrain-climate is similar to 9,000 feet in 
the Sierra but we are only 138-foot ASL.
