[pct-l] Mt Jefferson Wilderness photos

[Reinhold Metzger]

*Deems,
Great Mt. Jefferson Wilderness photos.
Like always, your photographic skill is without equal, as it is in all 
your galleries.
I am especially fond of your  "The High Sierra...John Muire's Range of 
Light"  gallery.
After all,.....the JMT is my baby.

I first hiked into the Mt Jefferson Wilderness into Jefferson Park in Aug
1977, a skinny 22yr old with a huge Kelty pack. I returned again in Aug 2010
by hiking there the long way from Crater Lake NP, and ran into an
inconvenient fire closure in the Jeff Park. I returned on the Oct full moon
to hike that 15mile  trail closure during a hard and very rainy weekend, and
we hiked into the park on a trail that was a flowing river!  But we woke up
in the park the next day to an incredible clear sky, bitter cold
temperatures, no one anywhere, and ice everywhere! I won't wait 33 years
before I return again to this incredible place!
