Adventures in Mordor...

Look look! I bought a tent. Hehe. Um.. supposedly you can fit 4 people in it, but I imagine that's only if they're my size and have no need for personal space, but I do think it should fit 3 no problem (it's about 8ftx7ft, I think). So that means I now have enough tentage for 5, whether we need it or not. I also ordered some backpacking food, so we won't be starving and naked and alone up above Nevada, (not starving... check, not alone... check, ... hopefully not naked...) I need to get trail permits on Feb 23rd (for the nights of Aug 9-11). At the moment I think I'm getting them for 5 based on the other Mordor post, so let me know if you don't want one (I think it ends up being $5 per person per night).

Im in for sure. Its crazy backpacking thats my forewarning to all others. Im still down for sure, Half Dome all the way baby!

Another warning: to do Half Dome, everyone will need hiking boots or at least sneakers with really good tread and a pair of gloves with good grip. I don't want anyone in my expedition being the schmuck that falls off if at all possible.

Hiking boots being bought for sure!
I decided this last time when we coming down and I kept falling on loose gravel and I thought I might end up braking one of your walking sticks. Remember that? I fell and it like flew off down the path and I started cursing because it was the approximately 10th time I had fallen.
No more of that.
