MP 904   I regret that I haven't made any notes for the last couple of days.   Got off  the trail for a zero in Mammoth Lakes.   Will hike out tomorrow morning.    It should take me two days to get to Yosemite.

Last winter's wind storms inflicted an incredible toll on the trees in the high sierras.   The blown down trees from Mammoth to Red's Meadow were startling.  It is slow and hard work to scramble over them.   Sections of the trail are impassible.    I had to bushwack up from Purple Lake.   

Here are some photos of blown down trees outside Mammoth.
