I now imagine an alternate universe where the Death Valley Germans actually reached the borders of a military base just to find out it’s raining in the middle of the desert due to cloud seeding. I would believe in God right then and there.
I love the lore of this and it’s a tragedy that the way, extant and degree of depth you’re writing, is utterly, vastly, completely out of whack with 99% of what is written on substack, or the 3 paragraph puff pieces by 25 year old women talking about how they shared a muffin with their dog, and being happy with themselves, that get 300 comments. Have you considered hiking the full JMT? I’d like to do it.
Thanks for the kind words Nick! I'm pretty sure others are going about it the right way, but I can't help myself. I've done most of JMT but not straight through. It's definitely a goal. One of these summers!

Ha! There was another technology in play that might have assisted them at that time, long before cloud seeding. Stay tuned!
