Log
1/2/2020: Joe D. drafts map with proposed hiking route (for all hiking points) and area trail system. 55 miles is a lot!
1/14: Proposed route shortened to 52 miles, the route could be roughly cut in half (~26 miles) if ending hike at Mammoth ski resort (2 cars or Uber needed)
1/23: New route shortened to 26 miles ending at Mammoth Lakes parking (need ride back to starting point)
4/19: Logistics, route, and group discussion (LENNY IS INVITED!). Determined 2-3 nights on the trail with overnight spots South of Agnew Pass (fishing at Gem Lake) and North of Devil’s Postpile. Total distance could be shortened to ~16 miles via the Express Route.
9/25: Trip officially postponed until 2021 due to forest fires
