My brother and I hiked about half of this route 45ish years ago with my cousin Bill, a true Tahoe mountain man. What an adventure that was! Looking forward to the entire journey to Yosemite!
Doctor! What a beautiful video. An unbelievable tribute to your father -the planning and preparation and ultimate completion of the trail is obviously very cathartic and important for you. I'm misty-eyed watching it, thinking about my late Pops. It looks like your pack handled all your equipment well. Tell Michael to save some fish for me! Again, a beautiful video.
What a great video. My buddy(who sent me the vid) and I hiked that same stretch back at the end of June. It was fun seeing all the familiar spots we stopped. We even camped and fished in the same spot at Rubicon. On top of that you guys pitched your tents EXACTLY where we did.
I'm excited to have found out about this trail! I don't know you obviously but I am happy to see that it means so much to you to follow your father's map. My dad always promised to take me to the mountains when we lived on the east coast but the demons that kept him from keeping that promise ultimately took him from this world. In other words I get why it means so much to you.. excited to get started... from my couch unfortunately :( lol
@@snowrob0 Thank you for those kind words and I am sorry about your dad. The heatwave and work are keeping me from getting the next section this summer but I am aiming for the Fall!
Your most welcome! Thanks for your condolences as well. I'll be watching if I don't get out there myself. My father in law and I did an over night from echo to aloha and it was great! We love both Tahoe and my wife and I have celebrated Yosemite since 2010 and and married at the chapel on Feb 14, 2014. The TYT is an attractive idea for all of us!
I’m a bit sad I hadn’t watched this till now. What a beautiful trail and so moving the history of it with your dad and the map. Looking forward to watching more
Very colorful scenery ... Such vivid yellow and orange colors everywhere ... Looks like you selected the right time of year to do the TY trail ... Looking forward to the next video ...
We were defintely too close to camp - but that view! We stored the smelly stuff well away and in bear canisters like good little campers. Would have loved to have seen a friendly, well-fed bear though! :)
As near as I can tell it was like 77/78 but no one seems to know for sure. I wish I would have got more details. :( I am loving making the videos though. :)
@@BackcountryPilgrim I met him in 75 and I think he was done because of a bad knee but he was talking about his desolation trips. Maybe it was when they lived in Tahoe?

That's awesome!
That rock wall at Stony Ridge. When I encounter those types of things in remote locations I always think "somebody built this up here". Amazing
For real! Like how did they get concrete 10 miles into the wilderness lol!
Doctor!

Glad you enjoyed it! And Dominion is ALWAYS ready for more fishing LOL!
Wow - quite an adventure. Great trail. I really relate to the connection and respect you pay to you fathers legacy 🤗
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you. :)
Wow, this is professionally done my friend. Atmosphere and shots are beyond spectacular. Outstanding work! 🔥🔥
Thank you, I am working hard on it!
I was in awe of the beautiful and colorful scenery. Your dad would have been so pleased! I enjoyed going along on this gorgeous hike.
Thanks Donna. :) More to come soon!
It was worth the wait for us. You did an awesome job on the first section. Can hardly wait for part 2. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much!!!
Merry Christmas Doug! Such an awesome tribute to your father. California in October looks beautiful!
Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you too!
Such a cool way to honor your dad. I cant wait to see more of your trip planning and trip videos of this trail.
Thank you. More to come soon!

Also yes.. WAY TOO HOT for me for that kind of hiking right now too I get ya!
That's great! I'd love to do the PCT sections that overlap / parallel the TYT when in done, it'd be cool to see both.
Can't believe I forgot to watch this before now. Beautiful trail
Agreed!
Beautiful video ❤your dad would have been proud of you 😊🙏happy new year from Australia 🤩
Thank you so much! Happy New Year from . . . Up Over(?) Hahaha
Wow this is awesome. With the planning and personal attachment, it looks like an amazing experience.
It's been amazing in so many ways!

I appreciate that very much my friend.

Yes, you are right - we hit it just right!
What a cool trip to remember and hike one of the trails He did in his honor. Pretty amazing scenery!
100% :) Thank you!
Savage ! Cooked up the fish right in camp! ^^ I'm sure you had some curious bears nearby!
We were defintely too close to camp - but that view! We stored the smelly stuff well away and in bear canisters like good little campers. Would have loved to have seen a friendly, well-fed bear though! :)
A lot of familiar scenery in this one! Such a beautiful area.
I've rarely seen so much amazing stuff in one trip! The Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne is really the only contender.
Incredible story, views, and video. Thank you for sharing this with us. Merry Christmas!
That means a lot thank you! And Merry Christmas to you too!
Beautiful!
Agreed! :)
What a cool trip! What years do you think you're dad was on that same trail? Thanks for the hard work to make that relaxing video.
