The weather is still looking pretty bad and I haven't found anyone who can go with me...I think I am going to postpone this and give it a try next year. I'll try to plan ahead a bit better and go towards the end of August or early September. I suppose I can try for the lottery, although its tough for me to plan that far ahead with my job, let alone get a group of people to plan that far ahead.
I may give the cactus to clouds hike a try in a month or so once it cools down a bit. I've heard many accounts that this hike is even harder than Mt. Whitney!
