Good Tymes

Wait, does the chopper give two-way rides? I thought they strictly picked you up and brought you straight to Jolly Kone.

Why is that dude wearing a trash bag?

There's an Erratic over there...

I went up that when ewe were sleeping / spooning the fir tree...

You missed the sunrise too ...



For your enjoyment... here's a set showing wutt eye wuz talking about w/r to Buckeye Creek...
a little comparison of w/ and "w/o" water... although water was a non issue this year ...
Although like Cathedral Creek ... "Thompson Canyon" Creek was also complete bone dry...

I'll take one of those over the pizza deck any day...

No animal-style fries? They are one of my favorite post-trip calorie bombs.

The food is actually from Jolly Kone in Bridgeport, not In-N-Out. Jolly Kone is like In-N-Out but vastly improved. I realize that's a bold statement. Take an In-N-Out burger, add bacon, make it 50% larger, and you've got Jolly Kone. The fries are way better too. Oh, and you can get a swirl cone which IMO is a superior way to eat soft serve than in a neapolitan shake.

Gorgeous scenery. I'm jealous/envious/missing the place.

Me take dis over da burga:


specially since camp like dis after nom nom:

Hmmm..is that Crown Point in the background? Perhaps subliminal advertising for the Royals?
I hope you are not a closet KC fan.
The Packers schtick is annoying enough.

I'm a PinkBird fan.



(and I want z Giants to win the WS)

And at least you have a football team that is doing well. The way my football teams are going, I may go straight from baseball to hockey.

It's a long season. A lot can happen. Proper perspective is required. Something I'm trying to learn.

Set o faux toes here w/r to this trip:

Still lots of domes with Erratics on top o them...

For those who love the backcountry of Yosemite... the precursor to this trip was
two things... 1 - personally I'd been intrigued by the huge plateau near Rock Island
lake for far too long...
2005:


2008:


and killer... 2009:


Looks easy from here.



and 2 - something been saying 1000 times... it looks different in different seasons... so you should really go spring summer and fall...






Have fun out there

The season is never over

I'll throw a pain in the chick-on-mobile... next time I see you you will have a pair...
I bought 3 pair the last time and .. well... they kinda are crappy... but they work ...
(the lens is not crystal clear) better than nuttin...
My guess is that when you look at it you will go "wowza"

Yeah, that whole trip kicked butt... def. a few more erratics up there to explore
