I checked the copy in the PS library today and sure enough, there you were! But the way the caption was worded it almost sounded like you'd hiked every day for an entire year but only covered 100 miles. Then i realized they were only referring to miles you'd hiked in Joshua Tree.

They also stated I live in Indian Wells. I only work there but live in La Quinta. Oh well.

100 miles wouldn't be much to cover in a year, would it?

How many miles do you figure you did hike in your year?

Hey Hal,
Nicely stated about leading, (or not leading) hikes, I've been there as well.
I'm sure Kathryn will do some good screening, and let people know they need to be responsible for themselves.
I heard it took a group over 9 hrs. on Skyline a few days ago, (ok it you don't mind spending the whole day on the trail), but some would rather get to the tram bar quickly!

One hike you may consider Kathryn is the West Fork (from Tradin Post in Indian Cyns), up as far as you'd like, (they'll be snow above maybe 6k I'd guess), then turn around, take the one & only real jct. over to the N. West Fork, aka Pelton or Coffman tr., to Murray Cyn & back to parking area.
It's approx. 7-8 miles w/ out going beyond the jct. more if you head up & back on the Jo Pond.

Just a suggestion.

Hike On!

I think 100 miles vertical would be quite an accomplishment

Zé - I hope he actually comes. I hear he's a lot of fun in person, and that would clear up some of the goofy controversy that made some people here kinda jumpy.

Kathryn - Congrats on how well the group is taking off! Did you expect this? NIce job!
