Here we are leaving for a hike. Primary focus? My feet. Dave is a willing participant for this walk, but above needing to break in new boots. I'm on boot pair number 5. We carried packs for fun. It was a nice quiet walk from Big Basin to the ocean with the exception of a portion of the trail shared with mountain bikers. 11 miles in 3 or so hours with an elevation change of approximately 1000 feet. Next time: more weight in the packs, greater elevation change. In July, we'll be starting the JMT at 10,000 feet and within 4 days, will summit Mt. Whitney over 14,000 feet.
