I checked out your site and I love that they're all from (or very near to) Cali. I'm going to pick through to see where I want to go. Keep on trekking.

Thanks for posting your pictures and trip report. I just got back from finishing the JMT last night (sobo solo) and it is good to see some familiar sights. Great panos!

Thanks Nick - Appreciate that! Thanks for comments Bryce and Eugene. Peter- it did take a long time, but compiling panoramas and choosing photos and writing the story and making the page on my site first was a lot of work and yes, I procrastinated longer than I'd have liked... =0|
