Relics from the past

I was digging through some antiquarian images this weekend and rediscovered these - from my hike with my cousin to the top of Mt. Whitney in 1992. Elevation 14,400! Probably the one and only time I'll make that trek - but I still have the memories! We actually went into the Sierra near Independence, then trekked for a few days on the John Muir trail, then came down via the Whitney trail. It probably would have been easier if I didn't have 50-60 pounds of stuff on my back!
