Another great trip report, especially since it mentioned us. We were delighted to run into you at the laundromat and enjoyed our conversation quite a lot. We've learned so much useful information from your blog. After we saw you we made several of the alpine lake hikes in the Eastern Sierras (beautiful weather) and then moved on to Death Valley where we finally hiked Telescope Peak and Kaleidoscope Canyon which have long been goals. After being slightly lit up by lightning at the Grand Canyon, we managed to meander our way home to South Carolina after ten weeks and about 11,000 miles on the road. Maybe we'll cross paths again next year. In any event we'll be keeping up with your travels on your blog.
