The other day I noticed Harold Davis started posting photos from a backpacking trip into the High Sierra on his weblog Digitalfieldguide Photoblog 2.0. Well Harold has started writing uphis adventure and it’s one you’ll have to read. What an adventure.
Here’s a teaser.
Harold: “Perhaps it is a good time to start making clear the mistakes I made on my journey through one of these cracks into the alternate universe that is the wilderness. First, I wasn’t really paying attention when people (such as the reservation ranger) told me about all the snow, and how empty the Sierra wilderness was this year. I also wasn’t taking the time to get adjusted to the change in altitude. I drove from sea level to above 7,000 feet in one day, and then started hiking up. No wonder I didn’t feel so good. My head was pounding, and my breathing labored.”
What a great story. I can’t wait to see what else happens. There’s lots of great photos too!
