Fattyfeet, my dad and I are doing it the same day, so maybe we'll see you up there. We're both about 6'1 and look exactly the same, so be sure to say hi. We're still looking at camping at Lone Pine Lake Friday night if it works out logistically and with weather. Leaving Mammoth to head to the portal now, so won't have internet access from here on out. Good luck with your hike. And thanks a bunch for the info everyone!
