Insert "jealous" emoticon here.
Lovely photos. Tstorms, for photography, can be as much of a blessing as a curse... (we had only the tiniest bit of rain in 28 days on our 2008 JMT hike.

Great stuff, both the photos and the blog. Making me feel guilty for not getting my stuff up sooner (it'll happen soon, at least before Chick-on returns and gives me grief about it
). Must have passed you somewhere...a note in my diary says that at Mather Pass on August 8 we had a crowd that included "another guy going north"...perhaps you?

Well, did that guy heading north look like this:
If so, then it was calicokat.

Yeah, thanks...
I did see the pictures...and didn't recognize the 'kat, hence the question. I got to know a bunch of folks going south as we saw each other from time to time, but the contact with the northbounders was limited and we may not have even seen each other.
And btw rumor has it that you have the answer on the Half Dome (?) picture posted by
. True??

I'm not saying.
I might have the answer, but then, I could be wrong. (Wouldn't be the first time.)

Thank you all for your comments, I appreciate them greatly.
My camera uses a lithium ion battery that performed great. I brought two and kept them charged on my zero day in Bishop and again at Reds Meadow.
I wasn't on Mather Pass on August 8th, but I was on Kearsarge
