It is here and starts tomorrow.
I am beyond excited about this summer’s plans. Right from the start I am hiking the Tahoe Rim Trail with my good hiker friends, Wired and Why Not. Both women are very accomplished Triple Crowners and simply awesome people. We are planning on starting at Heavenly Valley and hiking the loop counterclockwise.
Next on the hiking agenda – heading north to the famous Lost Coast Trail. It will be a merge of hikers with Wired, Lovenote, Drop n’ Roll, and hopefully Dan trekking together.
In July, my youngest daughter Bryn is joining me for my last remaining 500 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail through Washington. It will be a momentous time finishing all 2650 miles of what all started as a section at time.
Thank you everyone for sharing your lives, thoughts, and encouragements through commenting, reading, and sharing Lady on a Rock with others. Hope you all are getting out and embracing natures gifts.
Rockin’

Could you tell if you used Bear canister or Ursac for your food? I’m heading to Tahoe Rim in September. Enjoyed your blog a lot!
Lucky lady…have fun! I look forward to reading about your adventures throughout the summer.
Janet, Wishing you great hikes this summer. The rain really helped your area!!!!!!
Excited for you and eager to read about the summer’s adventures as you take them! Our family heads to California in two weeks; unfortunately we won’t be doing any backpacking, but look forward to plenty of day hiking in the Yosemite, Mammoth Lakes, and Shasta areas. Your trip posts have inspired us and helped us plan; thanks so much!
Lynda, Sounds like you have some fun plans ahead in beautiful areas. So glad some of my information was helpful in the planning process. Happy summer to you.
As always, I look forward to your hearing about your adventures and seeing those fabulous photos. Thanks for sharing your trip to the Domelands. I was just there last week to enjoy this rocky, scenic wilderness. Safe travels to you! Keep those boots moving!
Georgette, You are always 2 steps ahead of me! Wishing you happy adventures this summer. You go!!!!
It sounds like a fabulous summer! I am looking forward to seeing your pictures and reading all about it.
Thank you Denise. It is fun to post from scenic places.
Hiking my home turf. You are going to love the vista’s. As you know water will be an issue. You lucky dogs, you!
Water was definitely an issue on the eastern and northern slopes, with a couple 15 mile stretches. All the seasonal streams are running, thankfully. I loved this trail. You are lucky.
Once again our paths have crossed without our knowledge. My wife and I were in Tahoe on Sunday night staying at a friend’s cabin in Carnelian Bay. Our host had a book on the Tahoe Rim Trail which I didn’t know much about. Looks like a great trip. On the way to Mammoth we drove by Heavenly Valley.
Hope you ladies have a great trip!
Missed again!!!! You are really on the move. We had an amazing trip. The inclement weather really added to the adventure.
So sorry getting together didn’t work in your plans . I will be thinking of you! Have a great trip !!
So close and so far away!!!!! Pretty amazing trail you have in your backyard!
All set and ready to go! All that’s missing, which I send you all, is prayers for a safe, fun, soul-stretching journey into God’s great wild! Looking forward to exciting reports and adventures!
Thank you once again for your thoughtful words and prayers.
Oh wow what a summer! I look forward to reading all about it! Enjoy!
Thank you Anna.
Sounds like you have a pretty amazing summer ahead. Can’t wait to read more about each adventure and how you and your hiking buddies are doing! GoRockinGo!
