Mokelumne wilderness - Fourth of July Lake

I suck at hiking. Therefore I decided to hike a lot until a) I suck less or b) I get sick of it.  Here was the first foray into the Mokelumne Wilderness. You start at Carson Pass and then go down around Fourth of July Lake and then up to the Forestdale Divide. The loop is about 15 miles. Since I was off the couch, I was practically crippled by the time I made it back to my car. I have the fitness to do the hiking, but my joints suffered.

 I need to look these up.
