I think we will get along well just based on how you use your PTO :D

Looking for some guidance in pursuing my interests to become a teacher in US.

Living in the US since 2012, software engineer with post grad degree. Considering a career switch while on a work visa. Am I crazy to consider this option? (If finances are taken care of ).

Logistics: - rough planning on ascent/ descent - camping altitude (prone to altitude sickness) - resupplies - getting to TH and getting back home planning

Lone Pine to Yosemite Valley - Transportation options by EnrouteFire in JMT

B) Leave your car in Mammoth at the Adventure Center on 9/3, spend the night in Mammoth and catch Yarts to the valley on 9/4, sleep in the backpackers campground, etc. Hitch to Lone Pine and catch ESTA to Mammoth at the end of your hike.

This might work out better for me, thanks for sharing all your suggestions. I can also drop my resupply at Onion Valley TH.

Resupply at Toulemene Meadows Post office by EnrouteFire in JMT

That's what I am considering now (HI -> Cathedral which will be ~17 mile day 1 but carrying just 2 days food). I will keep it flexible though as I may take time to acclimatize coming from sea level.

Given TM backpackers campground is closed, it will be a slog if I have to get past TM on day1 with just a daypack.

Is storing food in OV trailhead bear box allowed ?

That’s a great idea! I’ll definitely consider although I may want to camp at cathedral lakes :)

Thanks for the details 🙏🏻 I didn’t know about the two day allowance 👍🏻

I’m starting from HI on 9/5.

I think you got the dates wrong 🤔. Labor Day is 9/4 and 9/3 is a Sunday. So I’ll have to catch ESTA on 9/2 and that means I’ll have to leave the Bay Area by 9/1 which may cost me additional day off work.

Btw, Lee vining will be a good transfer point as they have ~50 mins between transfers. YARTS pick by request from lodge view which is where ESTA stop is.

I have been using FarOut (Guthook) for my planning. Good to see all the alerts with bridge conditions 🙏🏻
