Did this John Muir Trail trip happen? I'm interested in doing that next summer. I am also considering doing the Tahoe Rim Trail first. JMT is about 220 miles, and TRT is 165. So they are both long thru-hikes, and the terrain is similar. But TRT crosses into civilization now and then along the way, so you have more options for resupplying, and you can get a shower every week or so. Or you can even just duck out of the whole deal if it is not working out.

I'd be interested in hearing about it if Friendowl or any of his associates are still around. Or if anyone else has done the JMT, TRT, PCT or AT, I'd like to hear about it.
