My Locale JMT Hiker from NY--see my profile About Me Formerly from Minnesota, now in Upstate NY, I have been hiking every summer in the High Sierra since 2000. From 2000-2007, we did the High Sierra Trail (HST). Been doing the John Muir Trail since then, every year. I am the lead moderator for the JohnMuirTrail@YahooGroups.com for 2011-2013. I organized groups (without charge) for the JMT, 2008-2011 for the hike I participated in (from 5 to 8 people). I'm doing a JMT 2012 group hike again. See my Google Profile for more and top links on a variety of topics (click on "My Website URL above").
