why did you choose to not take the cruise?

Considering doing JMT??? That's totally wIcked!!
Wow I cant even dream of doing the JMT. I will be glad with the thought and knowledge that I did one small part of the trail! Nicely written, It was only late on labor day when I got a call from one of my friend, who was trying to venture into Yosemite, did I know that Tioga was closed, else, I would have warned you sooner!

Methuselah was not marked
I'm sure it was disappointing for you, not being able to see the oldest tree, but it was probably the best thing for the tree to protect it from idiots. It can't be replaced once it's gone. We have an ancient species of pine in Australia, the Woolamai Pine, that was thought to be extinct and was found growing in a single valley in the Northern Territory. Botanists decided that the best way to protect it was to propagate as many as possible and make then readily available so that plant collectors would not want it for its rarity and dig it up or damage it. That wouldn't work for Methuselah, as his age is the attraction. You had some wonderful scenery on your trip. I enjoyed reading about it. Very different to Australia.

Whistler in Winter
You are correct about Whistler being magic in the Winter. I think every British Columbian, including myself, should experience Whistler in the Winter time at least once. I have been very fortunate to visit Whistler in both the Summer, and Winter times and there is something about the falling snow in the village that is pure magic.

Great set of falls, very well narrated
Love ur shots of all the falls, especially Hedge Creek. That would make an excellent large poster framed and hung in a living room! Also McCloud is very beautiful, I would sharpen and saturate this a touch bit! Also your narration is very nice, kept me interested in the entire thing. Sad to note though that you havent posted any shot of Whiskeytown falls. If you stop sufficiently down, you can still get this fall with a reasonably slow shutter! All in All, excellently written and great trip!

Excellent description, very useful!
The title says it all, just wanted to point out a minor thing. The 500mm lens is not a macro. Its plain Telephoto lens. The longest macro designed till date is the 180mm one. Also how can we book the hostels? do we go there and book a room, or do you book from here prior to planning a trip?

Thank you
I miss Fort Point. Did you get a chance to go hiking in the presidio behind the Fort? About 500 yards SW of the Fort, there are some look out (cannon) points where they would fire at any naval vessels restricted from coming ashore. Really cool stuff. I do miss the vastness of the Fort itself. Because of retrofitting purposes of the Bridge above, I couldn't take my Godson to play inside. It was closed. I think everyone should experience what we all have... one the the most important Historic Landmarks in Northern California. BTW... Sir Frances Drake's bronze plaque was found right next to the fort. It stated that he "officially claimed California (not known as that back then) in the name of the queen". California actually belongs to Britain. Thanks again, Ryan Rodriguez
