good hike today with little elevation change into Red's Meadows. We passed through a large burn from 16 years ago. In August 1992 this fire (called the Rainbow Fire because it stared near Rainbow Falls) nearly destroyed Red's Meadows. We crossed so many small streams and snowfields that our shoes were still wet when we got into the Meadows.
Shirley and I plan to stay in a cabin tonight. We went into Mammoth Lakes to eat dinner, update this post and resupply. Plan to day hike for the next two days to get in several miles here at Mammoth Lakes. The John Muir Trail and the PCT are merged at this point.
The group photo shows hikers who hiked into Reds with me. From left to right is Gopher, Rapunzel, Thrust, Slider, Gordon (support person with his van) and NimblewillNomad. The second photo is of me walking across one of the beautiful bridges that span some of the snowmelt streams.
Keep Hiking,
Greybeard
