Funny business how the signs I see during this morning's walk pertain to my upcoming backpacking trip! This one reminding me there is no turning around and backing out; my backpack and Vanagon are loaded and ready to go!

And this bumper sticker giving me solid advice for the switchbacks up McGee Pass!

Looking east to the sunrise (by the way, the sun cleared the coastal hills at 6:51 AM) I can see there must be more forest fires happening. I hope all is well in the eastern Sierras. I will know tomorrow.

And then, there is this cat, obviously wishing I would stop walking, gawking and blogging and just go away!

So, I will. See ya around September 12th!
Hope you make it back safe and sound. No bears; no fires and no bad people.
