Incredible post, @derekrichardson. I love and miss California, and used to go backpacking there. This was a wonderful journey to follow along. I almost felt like I did the hike myself! Your mother is an amazing trooper. Very impressive and inspiring!
I think I've heard of all the places except for Poopenaut, which I have to say is a hysterically funny name. It sounds like something I would call one of my kids.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip album!
Thanks @jayna! California definitely has some great backpacking. My mom is definitely a trooper, but she was not happy about the low temps after the snowstorm. lol. I'm not sure who came up with the Poopenaut name, but it is a funny one for sure!
