Sun. Oct 27, 2013 - John Muir Wilderness

This morning we worked at Black Sheep espresso bar, the one owned by Peter, Val's son-in -law.  It had all we need - breakfast, coffee and internet - very nice.

Then, we followed Val's advise and drove about 30 minutes up into the mountains to the nearest

trailhead - South Lake - and took a short hike in the John Muir Wilderness. 

We had no idea we were so close to such remote wilderness. 

It was very COLD,

and windy, but awesome.
