With 2015 being the 4th and most drastic year yet of an ongoing California drought, we thought it would be a good time to do a mid-May trek on a segment of the John Muir Trail (JMT) in the High Sierra.  Seven of us left San Francisco in two cars, and about 5 hours later we arrived at Lake Thomas Edison with a leisurely 6 day, 30ish mile adventure planned.  Of course, there was word of a winter storm on the way, but we were determined to get on the trail and crest some mountains.
