If youde like to help with donations, please send them here to the PAYPAL Johanna set up at Tacoguide@Gmail.com (we...

Thanx for the advice CM! I will leave the trail more often, and scan areas by creeks n stuff in areas i know that i never see bears! I will find one and get a pic eventually! i need sneaky-cameras like yours, maybe then ide get one.

Iz too a real beah! i seen it mooving >.<

I'll probably run up there again this thursday since the camps still wont be open (merced camp opens the 28th), So hopefully ill see the mom bear and her cubs and get a pic of em this time. Im also keeping an eye out for mountain lions. But since humans murdered bout 90% of the ones that lived here ...

Hello! last thursday I ran 25.9 miles out to Merced Lake and back. The high camps arnt up yet, so i had the place to myself which was really neat. Saw 4 bears. one "teenager" that i have the pics of. and a mom bear with 2 cubs-no pics, sorry.. Heres the link of my GARMIN info. (its battery...

@ Uncle Rico-- Taco parked at the Reds meadow area to meet me near Devils postpile. We just did it that way cause I wanted to see the postpile, which i didnt see after all. it was dark n i was pooped. no logistical reasons though. oh, and at Sean again, the shorts were fine actually as it was a wind...

@ Beantown- 15.5 hours 730AM til 1100PM. I think hikers do it in 2 or 3 days though. Ima trailrunner traveling VERY light, , 1 tiny pack, 1 bagel, 4 granola bars. cranberry juice, lemonade, and some jelly beans, 1 warmy long-sleeve, 1 pair gloves, 1 pair dry socks, 1 pair YakTrax for snow. total pac...

was trying to run from Tuolumne to Mammoth yesterday, and made great time the first 12 miles, then got into lots of snow and lost the trail often, which made running impossible, walked the next 15 miles and trudged through snowfields, and crossed over 20 snow melt creeks, most ankle deep, alot knee ...

all ready for the run tomorrow ill post sum pix and my time when i get back.

ya, its not very steep though, so that makes it easy. compared to Snow Creek trail or the Grand Canyon, those trails gain 1000ft per mile, 100ft every 10th consistently, thats hard. This ele gain on my new route gains and loses that 8000ft over a long distance, with downhills and flat parts in betwe...

Melvinator was good! hes got a mini safety-harness Taco made for him and i clip it to a loop by the side pocket so he cant fall out even if I fall. also, for anyone who may be visiting the area, that trail is now posted as "Closed Indefinitely" by the NPS as of this morning. its gonna take...

its wasnt all thunderstormy today on my run, so i could see stuff this time. i did another 15 miles on the 4 mile trail to panorama to jmt, again. the JMT was cool cause there"d been a big land/rock slide. so i had to spend some time getting down it and helping some tourists find the way. the t...

same loop , only faster

went for a nice easy walk and jog this morning.(easy compared to Snow Creek trail, that ones alot steeper than 4 mile trail) I started here in the Valley. went up the 4 mile trail to the top of Glacier Point. then jogged down Panorama Trail, across Illilouette Falls bridge to the John Muir Trail, an...

@ Longcut, ive adopted scott jurek's eating style, and have found my recovery time to have improved incredibly! by like 100+ percent! i totally doubted all the benefits, i thought maybe he was special. but I gave it a try and after only 3 weeks of no processed foods/refined sugars/flour etc. and no ...

went from the Ahwahnee (yosemite valley) up the mist trail, to little yosemite valley, to the merced lake trail. went out 10.4 miles in 3hr 30min. there was more ele gain than i had thought! i gotta learn to read my topo map better, ha. anyway. was a fun workout. it was my first time doing over 20mi...

I know of this man from my dad who is also a trail runner. he, Pete, was in runners world in the 70s i think. he ran Pikes Peak, too. and many others. he should be more well known than he is.

longcut-yus, i am havin a friggin blast :) ....but like Taco says, we do have pretty crappy jobs, by crappy, i mean too many hours- it really cuts into my running and his climbing time. , but you have to start at an entry-level to get in here. and at least we dont live ina city. And, we'll be switch...

Here's the winter-time views of and from, my regular 15mi. running trail. This is from Ahwahnee hotel, to mirror lake, at 4000ft, up snowcreek trail towards the saddle behind mt. Watkins, at 7800ft (across from the Half Dome side) taken on tuesday, jan 22nd ...if u have no interest in ice formation ...

it doesnt seem heavy to me at all. but im used to running with water.and i dont bring anything else with me , except a sandwich and some cashews and chapstick. my pack is normally waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy smaller than the ones i see hikers carry. its only weight is the water, theres nothing else in it af...

When i go there, even the long way from the village, i have more than enough water if i bring 2 24oz and my 1 handheld 20oz. ive never even thought of refilling anywhere, and that was taking the long way in late june and early july. You must be some thi...
