Dale Matson
Harlan used the Maxson Trailhead out of Courtright Reservoir
to begin his multi day trip. I was supposed to go with him but was injured. As I
reflect on his efforts, which he described as, “The trip took me to my limits”,
I was glad this 70 year old was not along. Harlan is quite an individual and
has many skillsets that equipped him for this effort of about 55 miles
including off trail backpacking. He is an accomplished cyclist and runner with
an extensive background in forestry and geology. He is an experienced
mountaineer and backpacker also. He had to endure being wet from Sierra thunderstorms. He is also a brother in Christ and we are
members of the same congregation. My hat is off to this fine young man. Harlan
took the photographs with my Panasonic camera and I am posting them with his permission.
