Mt. Whitney Permit Arrived
April 27th, 2010
I finally received my Mt. Whitney permit for this year. Seems the original copy either got lost in the mail or an unscrupulous neighbor absconded with my letter. I became fed up with waiting and gave a call to the Whitney permit office, where they verified that my permit request had been accepted and that a replacement letter would be sent right away.
And whatdoyaknow…it arrived!
This year I’ll be taking altitude sickness medication, which I hope will help me cut two hours from my time last year.
See you on the mountain in September!




You go Herman, and you will definitely cut the few hours this time
So this is your run up the mountain right?
Correct, sir. It’s turning out to be a yearly thing for me
