Thanks Mark,
that was a great trip that I'll remember for ever.
We applied for permits for the main trail, still waiting for the
answer.

We're looking at mid August, before my daughter's 6th birthday.
I understand that some are seeing charges on their credit card for the permits. We have seen none, not good news.
My daughter is crushed. She wants to write a letter to someone to complain. In here own words " the mountains belong to nobody, why can't we go daddy?"

I may have to take her up the MR, it will be hard but, slow and steady wins the race, like I always tell her.
Looks like the North fork permits are all taken, except the 4/day walk in.
For now we are continuing our training here locally.
See you on the trail.
Julius
