The highest treason, the meanest treason, is to deny the holiness of this little blue planet on which we journey through the cold void of space.

Kayaking the Merced, pre-JMT goodness

     Big thanks to Bill Tuthill for meeting us in the Valley with some spare boats to run the Merced.  Super mellow and eye popping.  This was quite a way to see the valley floor before heading to the high country.  It was also a nice break from the onslaught of visitors clogging the narrow two lane roads through Yosemite......and here I was bitching about the deterioration of Zion NP since I was a kid......doesn't even compare.  Tomorrow we begin "the walk."  Pray for us.  PS:  Bill you are also amazing for saving me on my resupply distribution conundrum.  So thanks again, a million times over.
