At approximately 11:10am on Sunday, September 2nd, California State Parks was notified of an adult female hiker that was struggling on the Skyline Route (Palm Springs up to Grubbs notch). The male and female couple started the hike around 2am then because physically exhausted and couldn’t continue. The location of the hikers was around 5600 ft. level. California Highway Patrol (CHP) H-60 helicopter was called in to assist. CHP located the two subjects and with assistance from State Parks both persons were safely hoisted up. Both persons were flown to Long Valley and transferred to State Parks personnel. Both persons appeared to good condition and were later released. This also will be last rescue for State Park Aide Sam Aguilar who is moving on to bigger and better things has been huge part of this team over the past 12 years, you will be missed! A Big Thanks goes out to crew of CHP H-60 for their assistance.

Well... I'm Back. I wasn't feeling to good before this trip. Too much computer and not enough outside. In general questioning a lot lately as my 2 months in Peru comes to a close. The world is out there waiting for you if you get up off your ass and go get it! 
.
Ausangate trek by bike. Highly recommended! 4 days - 7 passes over 16,200ft (5,000m). It will be a while before I process everything photo-wise and mentally. If you ever want to feel as you have left the planet without leaving earth.. go to Peru. This place is unworldly

Entering another world at 5000m in Peru. The diversity of landscapes around Ausagante was ridiculous: rainbow colored mountains, up-close views of glaciers and 6000m peaks and vistas that changed continuously with the weather.
Temperatures at this elevation are extremely dynamic - from below freezing in the morning to above 25C during the day with bouts of rain, hail and sun in between! It certainly kept things interesting as I sweated and shivered my way around #bybike #bikepacking #peru
