We secured permit for the High Sierra Trail starting at Crescent Meadow on July 14 and finishing up at Whitney Portal on the 21st.
While a bit challenging getting there from Palm Springs we've got that worked out but getting home is still an issue. A few buddies have said they might be going that way and would be willing to drop off our van but nothing definite yet. I know it's still a ways out yet but I tend to plan in advance. Any suggestions on getting back from Lone Pine or someone going east to west where we can swap keys and meet up afterwards?
