First half-August: Tauru's First Two Weeks After Intel

I finally stopped showing up to work and finally quit -- YAY! I was first busy with packing and just making arrangements. After that, I went to the Sierra Nevadas, where I "came back to life." I read lots and just felt at peace. I also felt as if time slowed down. Whereas before, at Intel, I would pickup a cup of coffee Monday morning and walk to my cube... then, all of the sudden, it was Friday 5pm!

August 18: Back To The Sierras

I was out in Lone Pine where the Sierra Nevadas are. Brought lots of books and some hiking stuff. I lived out of my truck.

The truck in the Alabama Hills in Lone Pine, California.

Hiking up to Iceberg Lake.

A View of Mt. Whitney in August... some traces of snow on the Mountaineer's Route.
