There are six of us which are on this trip. Two people have permits to do the JMT. Four of us have permits to do a alternative/pseudo JMT route. Possible alternations:
- On the alternative route, we are mulling over changing the trailhead to come in at Silver Lake and go by Agnew, Gem and Waugh Lakes rather than over Parker and Koip Peak Passes. This is the highly probably route we will be taking.
- Another alteration to the route. On August 30th, Gary and Sherri will be leaving the party and returning home. Their route will be down Bubb's Creak to Roads End, near Cedar Grove.
- The other four are examining ways to accelerate getting to Lone Pine. Nothing has been put into concrete yet.
