What have people got planned for the rest of the Summer/Fall/Winter?
I'm heading into the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area next Sunday for a week. In August/September I'll do two 8-day trips into the northern Winds over a three week period - forest fires permitting. They will all be solo trips with my dog. |

10 days out and about the Cathedral Range in Yosemite. Start July 20. Thought I'd catch some flowers by going "earlier". But that was before the drought never let up. Hopefully as I get to the higher elevations there will be some nice ones still.

Already have 35 bag-days Yosemite, mostly Tuolumne area, done so far. Just came back to Mammoth Lakes (home) to re-supply and do laundry...pay bills.
Next trip is a 16 day fishing trip to Idaho - Sawtooths...starting next week. Starting with a 14 mile spot pack in.
Both of us are carrying one-man fishing rafts, the plan is to fish hard 9 different lakes - we are throwing big lures/spoons, searching for 18+ inch Cuts.

7 days coming up soon out of Bishop, permits permitting (they wouldn't let us pre-order enough for the whole party. We have an advance scout who will go for the day-of permits for the rest of us. Hopefully no problems).

10 days in the Adirondacks coming up. We're basecamping, so just 4 or 5 actual backcountry nights. We hope to get close to finishing our 46 this year and finish next year.

Planning (with some helpful input from forum members) a 2 week trip into the Winds in September. It will be my first truly solo trip in quite a while, I haven't taken a trip without by dog Floyd in a very long time, but I don't think he's quite up for this one, plus he can be a real PITA when I'm trying to fish. Mark, hope you'll post a report on that Sawtooths trip, sounds amazing.

Section L of the WA PCT, Rainy Pass to Manning Park BC, starting August 1st. It's 70 miles with 15,000' elevation gain and loss. Well actually a net ol loss of about 900'. I think it is only going to take less than 4 days to hike it but we shall see.

planning to vacation in Greece, to help the poor locals (and enjoy the sun and sand)? Given the turmoil, I bet there are discounts everywhere. If I haven't been, I would go in a heartbeat. And Tunisia too. Wrong type of backpacking. You see here in America what we mean by "backpacking" is different than in Europe where it's more a statement of luggage choice than locale. |

Working on a 4 week solo trip to Bolivia and Chile in November/December. I'm kinda looking forward to Thanksgiving, all alone, outdoors, in a foreign country. Ahhhhh...

Just a follow up - returned yesterday from the Sawtooths - Idaho...The two of us got spot-packed in 14 miles to Edna...we were out, backpacking, off trail, 16 days total there - amazing.
We fished 21 different lakes - each carrying Klymit LWDs (one man, slack water rafts w/ kayak paddles...3 pounds of extra weight).
We were chucking big lures - 3/8 oz Z-Rays, and by the end, 16" Cuts were as common as 10" Brookies Sierra...alas, always looking for the lunkers.
Funny, the 'Bows jumped and the Cuts went deep...many caught were in the 19" range and a few quite larger. Biggest was a 26 1/2 " Cut/Bow - a fish with Rainbow coloring with the Cut cheek stripe...pink meat and tasty, 'Bows to 21". Also got a kyped out 20" Brookie too, and caught a few Graylings...a fish never seen before.
Now just over 60 bag nights this summer - Sierra and Sawtooth...BTW, going out again Sierra this week.
Eat your hearts out!
