That is totally awesome. What an accomplishment. You guys are the real deal.

Here's two more great Muir quotes for you:

"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity, and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life”

"Wander here a whole summer if you can. Thousands of God’s wild blessings will search you and soak you as if you were a sponge…”

The scenery is beautiful. The weather sounded perfect. Maybe another item on the bucket list.

Nice, I worked 2 years for Sequoia and Kings Canyon NP.
I've fought fires in every mountain range in the L-48.
The Sierra Nevadas were the prettiest in my book.

I'd like to do the entire JMT someday. We've only been on it within Yosemite.
