The return of Flappy and his deadman.

DAY FORTY-ONE, June 14, 20.5 Miles (4.7 on Mt Whitney side-trip)
At mile 766.3
Nice morning, I feel really lethargic whenever I walk uphill, don't know why. Todd and me planned on climbing (that is, walking up) Mt Whitney this afternoon and sleeping on the summit but were told by a Ranger it was expected to be "cold and windy, slight chance of thunderstorms". No thanks. Cold up there would be -20C in the wind and the thing is a lightning rod. Set up camp at last lakes before the climb at about 12,000ft. I love walking through meadows.
