      Yeah, I expected that Big Horn plateau would be all covered with snow but there was no snow.
      I really enjoyed the high snow year. Hope we have another one soon.

    안녕하세요. 라스베가스에 살고있는 애나강입니다. 지난 8월 20일에 3번째 JMT 시작한 큰아들내외로 인해 JMT에 관한 유튜브,도리산TV를 보던중 김용성님을 알게되는 행운을 얻었습니다. 용성님의 유튜브는 놀라움 그 자체입니다. 조금전 본 100 Hikes California를 보며 그동안 촬영하신 정성과 아름다움에 마음이 울컥했습니다.전 1000개가 넘는 유튜브를 구독, 알람신청해놓고 하루 10시간 이상을 보는데 오늘같은 감동은 처음입니다. 특히 오늘 아침은 저도 내년에 JMT를 목표로 트레드밀 경사를 15에 놓고 40분간 한 첫날입니다. 한번 꼭 뵙고 싶은 마음입니다. 9월이면 결혼 40주년이라 대학 클래식기타반이었던 남편이 뒤늦게 로망스연습중입니다. 음악에도 조예가 깊은신것같아 말씀드렸습니다.하고 싶은 이야기는 참 많지만.... 감사합니다.

      I'm past my trail days, but I would have done that trip in more like six than four days. Yongsun is a strong hiker, I'm sure you noticed. I've done a couple of shuttle trips north out of Kearsarge, exiting Taboose and Baxter Passes.

    The first view of the Kearsarge Pinnacles is one I will hold in my heart until I die. 02:16: I doubt that current regulations would allow that trail to be cut in the side of that slope (as well as many, many other trails in the Sierra). What a legacy left by those WPA workers in the 1930s! 03:34: No. just no. I am not going in that water. Feel free to knock yourself out! ;-) Yah, no, Bill don't do swimming in ice water. 04:04: Probably the most fantastic look at the shadow of the Earth. Every time I see that, I imagine that shadow extending into the vast emptiness of space. Very nice appearance of the Belt of Venus just above, too. Love the music, another common characteristic we share, along with our love of the High Sierra, very eclectic music tastes.

    • @YongsungKim
      @YongsungKim  Год назад +1

      I totally agree with all your points. The view of the Kearsarge Pinnacles is also one of my favorites. I have a great appreciation to the legacy of 1930s. I am really glad that you liked the music. But come on Bill, you don't like swimming in ice water? I feel like reborn after jumping in the ice water. LOL.
