Skiing The High Sierra

There's been a lot of talk about me skiing the High Sierra. As far as I can tell, I would be the first person to do this in conjunction with a thru hike. Realistically, I would need a ski parter to make it safe. Asking anybody to take two weeks off with no concrete dates is just out of the question. So, perhaps my friend Dave will be into it? Maybe you know someone? Anyway it is fun to dream. In the meantime I am swingin a hammer today, but should be swingin like Miles.

Joining me in April

My good friend Nate will be joining me on the PCT for the third week of April! How cool is that? Amazing. We have never hiked together. We expect to walk between 10-15 miles per day. I am sure it will be hot in So Cal. More steps... (giant steps) drink lots of water! More soon...

House Camping

I got up this morning and the house was so darn cold it hurt to just get out of bed. Ya, there are some space heaters. They make it so that 1. The house is slightly warmer than outside. 2. My electric meter on the house spins faster than an old 78 record player. So, what do you do? Turn the oven on broil to make toast and leave the oven door open when you are done. Stand over the oven and rub your hands together, click your heals, and whisper "there's no place home." And there you have it! House camping....
