Wow Jarl! You really hiked into one heck of a storm! The hail hitting your tarp and bouncing on the ground sounded and looked like popcorn. Or maybe it looked more like hominy. 🤔 With a sky full of buckets of hail and swarms of mosquitoes many a hiker would have turned back. I myself have turned back on a backpacking adventure due to maddening mosquito attacks. And I did experience light hail at night while camped below Glen Pass in Kings Canyon National Park. I did the loop. I believe you have done this loop also. And I had a bear experience similar to what you had!

I'm not 50 yrs old yet, but I've seen hail here (I don't use those disrespectful colonial terms of state colonies, to me it's the land of the dawn; Wabanaki Indian territory) worse than this. If you're actually only half my age, not twice, I'd still be a little surprised. Over 100 though, of course I know that can't be so. There's been more hail storms during my folks times that doubt were worse than this too, so. I might have believed you, if you claimed to be a teenager. It has been a little while, so that might actually be possible. I guess I'll never know since you don't want to say, oh well.

Yeah, I hear what your saying. Summer before last lightning hit a fiberglass radio antenna at my place. It not only melted the fiberglass antenna and it fell over. But it blew a hole in the ground as big around as a basket ball. It was a good thing I had an 8 ft. Ground rod at the base of it. It took out several thousand dollars worth of equipment in the house still. The worst lightning damage to a tree I had ever seen was on a huge cottonwood tree. When I used to hunt I remembered this good area by a huge cottonwood tree. Then one time I went to find that spot. I would always look up high because they get huge. Well I ran onto debris starting at over 100 yards from it. Pieces of cottonwood tree. When I found it, this huge cottonwood tree had been reduced from probabbly at least 95ft. Or so down to about a 15 ft. Stump. Cottonwood trees are so full of water that it just exploded it. That is why i stay away from them if I'm in the woods. I have seen people cut them down before and it looked like someone turned on a water faucet. I knew of one that was hit at least 4 times, it finally died. The big one that blew up was probabbly 5 ft. Across at the bottom. Our water table here is real high most the time too though. Most times I could dig 3-4 ft. And the hole will fill.

Haul storm, crazy+fun!
