The trail does not provide reliable wifi most of the time and the data necessary to post (even assuming I had a signal, which is usually not the case) is beyond this hiker’s budget.  With 4000 + hikers on the trail this year in towns overwhelming the wifi that is briefly available, it takes hours to upload simply one post, if it uploads at all.  Most brief town stops, I just don’t have the time to simply sit at one place to download multiple entries.  

Suffice it to say, while I am still on the trail and hiking through the Sierra Nevada, the blog is far behind.  The posts are written and will upload when I can and the media connection is steady.  Thanks all for following….
