I'm on a roll! Three posts in one day! After just too Stella Artois beers I've got a good buzz going. That's what happens when you take a break from drinking. Don't I look happy before the hike? My knees feel great, as do I.
After we arrived at Trail Camp, we all found a place for our tents. Someone before us had created these flat spots with rocks in between that were perfect for us. My spot just fit the size of my long and narrow tent. I was surprised that the ground was not that hard. I had bought titanium tent stakes in anticipation of hard rock, but I ended up pounding the stakes into soft dirt. Luckily there was very little wind and my tent didn't fly away without me in it.
The trail on the west side of the mountain was very rock, as you can see. Even though the scenery here looks desolate, it was actually quite pretty, with a few flowering plants giving the landscape a touch of color. Like I said before, you just had to watch your step or down the hill you go.

1) You are far better off than last year since you can even drink Stella Artois after the hike!
2) It looks like this was the best Whitney day ever!
3) I am so glad you are finally learning how to drink water! I didn't want to have to learn of your death by drowning while drinking!!! I feel much better now and maybe OB and I can stop obessing about your water habit.
Yes, the water thing. Remember recently someone died after winning a contest to drink the most water?
