They were 12 this summer, we went out to do a yo-yo hike, but again realized at about Glen Pass that going back would be a ho-hum, been-there-done-that kind of experience, so we just did the TM-YV-TM section in yo-yo mode, then finished up on day 20 at Whitney Portal with Doug's finest burgers and called it another great year. Lots of snow made for great vistas in July, and even though the kids now feel we ought to so something different in 2011, I think that "different" thing will still happen in the Sierra.
Not a real trip report, but if you have the patience to go through all the days' photos and read the captions, you'll get the idea of what unfolded:

Anyone know if Sierra, the 7-year-old from Bishop finished with her mother Heather? We last saw them at Evolution Lake when it was her 7th birthday party.
