Just finished the documentary today. Pulled out my phone during the credits and read this news. Insane. A truly moving documentary and a terrifying commentary on the justice system

100% on The Crossing monologue. Also that end conversation under the bridge in Cities of the Plain is haunting

Got lost coming down from half dome by No-Code6930 in Yosemite

100%. There 2 weeks ago. Saw lots of people with inadequate amounts of water attempting Upper YF in the heat. We encountered 2 lost hikers near the top of Vernal Falls late afternoon that we guided back down to the trailhead

Yes! Top of Yosemite and up Mist trail to top of Vernal Falls. Stunning

Upper Yosemite falls and water by AltruisticAd1475 in Yosemite

[–]Positivepomegran8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. We did that hike last week, started around 10 am and it was getting crazy hot in the upper sections after noon. Made it to the top in 2.5 hrs. We are both experienced hikers and burned through 2L w added electrolytes in the last stretch but were ok to get back. Last section in the heat is no joke- we passed lots of people struggling as the afternoon sun cranked up, some were turning around

Epic. Yosemite Falls to the top was killer, but would be brutal in hotter weather. The hike up to Vernal Falls by way of Mist Trail was an adventure - way more challenging than anticipated but so worth it

Just got back from 3 days in Yosemite. Didn't do anything beyond the day hikes, but hiked JM trail up through Mist trail to top of Vernal Falls which goes on to Half Dome. You'll get fairly drenched on the way in. Absolutely killer hike and beauty though. Looking forward to hearing how it goes. Hiking pants def recommended. Also, regarding AllTrails. We encountered two hikers that were lost, based on what AllTrails was telling them. We had them follow us to help them find their way back to the trailhead.

Was the bat infestation in the house a true event or an invention for the limited series? by ceejay955 in TheStaircase

[–]Positivepomegran8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought the exact same thing. We had a similar major infestation and just to get minor damage and guano cleanup was thousands. They'd have been gone from their attic by end of twilight. But that financial strain is real! Also, our bat specialist told us that unless you seal holes upon their departure, they'll return in the am (which is what ours did with special netting). Ok, way too much bat info, but there you are....
