This is a crazy adventure

This is wild, rugged country. That route over Deadwood Peak, down into the Mokelumne Canyon, and then up Jackson Canyon is a sufferfest even today---and we've been working on some of those trails for a while now. Amazing adventure. Walker did it with horses!

I will concur. Even though the closest I got to this route was where the "trail" ascends to Munson Meadow, I remember the outlet of Meadow Lake being quite the imposing wall in the distance.

Oh, and thanks for all your work on maintaining the trails in this area! I definitely remember the relief when I could see a brushed switchback on the Munson Meadow trail after thrashing through all kinds of armpit-deep aspens and shrubbery heading up from the canyon...

Thanks, Basilbop. We're still working on that area. We have hopes of connecting all those trails together, and to keep them more or less maintained.

It's a lot of work.
