The Duffel Bag: July 2013

Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.

Down distant paths for unmapped miles.

Heads forget but hearts remember:

The art of living knows no bounds.

"The best journeys answer questions that in the beginning you didn't even think to ask." - Jeff Johnson, 180 Degrees South

"The best way out is always through" - Robert Frost

"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way". - Marcus Aurelius

* Twenty Lakes Basin Hiking and Scrambling

We hiked up into the Twenty Lakes Basin above Saddlebag Lake in Northern Yosemite, mainly to climb the Northwest Ridge route of North Peak. Well, it was a little too exposed for Marcie without a rope, so we bailed at the last window and had a great day hiking around in the area.
