Über das Buch
The John Muir Trail -- From Florence Lake to Cedar Grove, 1962, is a tale of two young guys who camped out in the High Sierra of California in the days before backpacking became popular, and permits were required. They saw no other backpackers for almost two weeks.
The story of their days of cooking with scavenged wood and sleeping without a tent or air mattress, is balanced by the awe inspired views they captured in wonderful photographs of the mountains and meadows of the Calif Sierra Nevada.
The authors hope that their book will give the reader some idea of the adventure they had, but also be a motivation to go to the mountains and see their beauty for themselves. This is the 1st Edition.
For the 2nd Edition-revised: search the Blurb website for The John Muir Trail by Desmond and Parker.
