   This started as an email thread among friends and family, but almost everyone said, "you should publish these!" So begins a recap of my first backpacking trip -- and a new website I should have created years ago. Enjoy!

     "Today's 9-mile hike would deliver breathtaking visuals around every turn. But between racing the sun, hurting my knee, losing the trail, and nonstop elevation gain, it would also present an even steeper mental and physical challenge than Day 1."

     "Murder pinecones" and a much-deserved day of rest and casual exploring, in Day 3 of my backpacking journal!

     @thomasb Thanks for checking it out, Thomas! I'm happy you enjoyed what I had to share. And thanks for sharing your photos as well.

     Did you guys end up hiking from LYV to the village in the dark? I think that final trek down took me closer to 3 hours. 20 minutes sounds impossible!

     Hi Jason,

     I came across your Day 4 post in my feed yesterday and I really enjoyed reading it. My wife and I did Lake Merced to the valley back in 2012 and it was a looong day. I remember stopping at the river by Little Yosemite to take a break and reminding her that we only had 20 minutes or so in order to get down to the valley before dark.

     My photos on Flickr are here:
