The Sierra Nevada mountains can’t be captured with the eye... never mind a photo.... #sierranevada #sierranevadamountains #jmt2018About this time last Friday morning I was standing on top of the tallest peak in the lower USA, Mt Whitney at 14,505 feet! I’ll admit that it was exciting, but between being sick and missing home I didn’t get the warm fuzzy feelings that I thought I would, and this is where I decided that this wasn’t my time for this hike. So about another 40 miles down the trail I took my leave. I am glad I got to see and experience what I did, but it’s also good to be back home with family, and knocking this cold out. I’ll be back one day though... #jmt2018 #mtwhitney #thankyougodMy last real meal for about the next 2.5 weeks! #mammothmountain #breakfast #jmt2018 #eggsandbacon #pancakes #lastmeal #itstimetogetgoingDevils Postpile ✔️ #devilspostpilenationalmonument #devilspostpile #jmt2018Death Valley was definitely the highlight of my day yesterday. I will be back one day when I have more time to spend in the valley... and wear shoes! 😂 #deathvalley #deathvalleynationalpark #lowestpointinnorthamericaI go to Vegas for donuts and white milk!! #donuts #whitemilk #lasvegas #vegas #whathappensinvegasstaysinvegas- Follow Stick's Blog on WordPress.com
