Yeah, I'm glad I started in late June from Walker Pass to get through the Kennedy Meadows area before that fire erupted.

I may have seen the early stages of that fire from the top of Mount Whitney. There was a smoke plume from that general area when I was at the summit.

Exited at Onion valley, but hoping to get back on the JMT/PCT NOBO from there after a little rest, recuperation, work, and gear repairs. Hope fire and weather permits.
