[pct-l] pics from 95

[brick at fastpack.com (Brick Robbins)]

95 wasn't as bad as 98, but it was pretty wet that year (Strider, how did 
it rate in late season snowpack?). I left Campo in June, doing about 30 a day.

Here are some pics I took going over Forester on July 13 1995.

I had more or less continuous snow above 9000ft from Big Horn Plateau (just 
north of Whitney) to North of I-80. I almost died crossing Bear Creek, and 
was plenty scared many many times. I broke through the snow (100% coverage) 
descending to Benson Lake north of Yosemite, and fell into a hidden creek 
up to my waist. Many days, after endless trudging through sun cups, all I 
could think was "is this snow ever going to end?

This was before PCT-L so I didn't know what anyone else was doing. I 
departed so late in the season that I saw my first thru-hikers around 
Walker Pass. I met my next thru hikers just north of I-80 and the last band 
in Mt Lassen NP. I was pretty lonely.

I'll scan som photos from 95 so you can see what it looked like
