We just (kinda) returned from a trip over Piute Pass down to the South Fork San Joaquin.  Piute and the San Joaquin were running high and we got to be what looked like first tracks on the John Muir Trail.  

Also I shot the last image for our book on the JMT; Walk the Sky, due out this October.

We had to deal with about 3 miles of sloppy snow and some wet crossings.
