  @David-Harris so, I shouldn't bring my smart phone and attempt a selfie on a wet, sloping choss pile over 30 feet of churning water? Got it

  @The-Gnome Don't be to quick to sell your efforts short. My kids don't get out with "Daddy-O" anymore either. Like to game and such when not working. When they do, it tends to be with friends. Rest assured there will come a time when conditions are inclement and they will be some of the select few who know things like: Water puddles. Don't pitch your tent in a depression. Wind inevitably blows even though it may presently be calm. Secure yer' freakin' gear! Critters around campgrounds are "educated". See above. Wet wood is hard to start a fire with. See above. They will be the "campfire masters" who can get a fire started in less than optimal conditions. Among the very few able to cope with being out of cell range for more than a few hours. How to ace the perfect pancake whilst cooking outdoors. Just a short list off the top of me 'noggin.

  I don't know if it implies anything about your trip or the experience you are looking for, but Bishop as seen lot's of PCT hikers bailing out the last few weeks and they can be seen with hitch hiking signs to Reno and other places north.

  Big Sur! Always a good 'un! Biggest drag about living inland is that I cannot get to the ocean. Used to darn near live on the beach during summers. Miss it terribly. Thanks for the cool pics.
