Hiking the John Muir Trail
In August of 1997 I almost hiked the John Muir Trail. In
addition to the account of my journey this page has a lot of useful
information and links for those interested in hiking it themselves.
Yosemite's Trail Signs
Yosemite's trail signs, as I read them, often contradictory.
Big Bend
Across the Sonora desert and the Rio Grande to the island
mountain of southwest Texas, wherein I wade across the Rio Grande to
baptize myself as a wetback.
To the top of Mt San Gorgonio
To the highest point in Southern California, crowned by tenacious
flora.
Hiking up the North Fork of
the Whitewater River of the San Bernardino mountains
From the San Gorgonio Pass at Interstate 10 I tried to ascend all
the way up the Whitewater river and its north fork to the ridge of the
San Bernardino mountains.
Rabbit Peak
An ascent of Rabbit Peak from the Salton sink.
Hanaupah Canyon
Up Hanaupah canyon, one of the few places in Death Valley that
has water year-round, most years at least.
Saline Valley Warm Spring's Floating Party
A continuous party inhabits a makeshift spa miles down dirt roads
in a desolate desert.
