Hey Krishna,
I love your name. May I ask if you are male or female, not that it matters but only because I am female and I don't think I would hike the JMT alone. It even amazes me when I see Steve C. do long hikes alone. Laura, Moose Tracks, also does a lot of hikes by herself, she amazes me too. Guess I'm a Scaredy Cat about going by myself without a friend.
I love the way you told us how much food you carried and how you shipped your food to different destinations to pick up. Someday I want to hike the JMT (not alone) and I will use your Trip Report as a guide.
I like how you told your family about all the trail exit options you had and how you gave them a spot message at scheduled times each day. You are a very responsible hiker, you did your homework first before you set off on your trek, you kept yourself safe while having fun and you didn't put anyone else's life in jeopardy because you didn't make any mistakes or take foolish risks.
When I hear or read the name Krishna I think of the Hare Krishna Temple in Laguna Beach, CA. I use to eat there once in a while, they serve a wonderful vegetarian buffet, the aroma in the temple is delightful, lots of curry and earth smells. I always think of the chant; Krishna, Krishna, Hare Hare.
Thank you for sharing. I have not checked out the links you posted yet, I hope there are pictures in them.
