Five years, two eye surgeries, and one toe surgery after my one and only Whitney hike, I'm ready to go back, this time with my 16-y.o. son. Lottery allowing, we'll do it in early August. I hate to try for peak season but he's off to college in the fall.
I want to thank Doug and the rest of you folks for your ongoing research and work on this website, including keeping my ID available, even after all of this time.
Meanwhile, newer developments are exciting - the hostel, upcoming webcam, etc.
Blessings and best of success to you all as you plan your own hikes this year.
Jim
