Being lazy and with limited funds I rent from Farabees when going rough road. I used to say, "If I can see it, I can hike to it." These old bones are starting to differ with that opinion. lol
I used to be an extreme day hiker. Mt Whitney the standard route was usually pretty early in the season since it was so easy. Cactus to Clouds to Cactus, Rim to Rim to Rim and so many other stupid hikes. Now I get as close as legally possible with the Jeep. We were close to some of Shorty Lovelace's cabins back in the day but didn't stop to explore because it might have taken ten minutes. Our only goal then was miles and gain. We even set up and ran our own 1/2 marathon into Badwater. Twice. I wish I would have used some of that energy to explore Beveridge or the many other places I'll never get to now.
