Well here you have 'em. This is the Yosemite squad who is about to walk through one of the most striking wilderness locations in the California. From Tuolumne Meadows to Yosemite Valley we will embark upon some of the most beautiful terrain imaginable. 

All told some of us will cover about 40 miles of trail. Granite vistas, meadows, wild life, rivers, and ever alluring peaks draw us forward with each step we take. 

Mel (Melanie) is a genuine woman of the Sierra. She has an entirely unique demeanor and deserves everything the Sierra has to offer. She is a woman overflowing with life. Jerbear (Jerry) is as gregarious as they get. Anyone who spends enough time with him will see that he has progressively grown wings to become more than what he once was. Old Timer (Jim) is one of those who is young at heart and is full of energy. Turk (Mark) at 12 years old actually was one of the highlights of this trip. As a well mannered young man, Turk reminds you of everything that is right with growing up and finding your place in this world. 

With unreserved images and thoughts I will attempt to recount this trip. With a sample selection of nearly 300 photos and narrative, join us and know what it means to live. Press |NEXT| and come along for the ride.
