a) Thanks for that Bench Marker! ... found it no problemo
(still sitting on your HD Spring/Pipe photo...
I'll find it! )
b) I put of photos bunch here (never all) (take too many) :
https://picasaweb.google.com/yosemite.chick.on/OlmstedPt
I haven't annotated them yet though...
c) Diving Board... nice. Love that. Um... well, exhibit a:
All the south facing stuff will be snow free, guaranteed... i.e. nearly everything after Lost Lake.
The problem may be from wherever you jump off the trail in "LYV Area" to Lost Lake.
There's not a huge amount of snow but when it gets warm you can posthole up the ying yang.
Enough has probably melted by now that you can work your way around most.
It's not always a simple yes/no on account you can have 10 ft. of snow and walk away no problem
but when it gets to be much less and soft, it can be a nightmare. Just an example, we took the JMT/High Trail
to Merced Lake and we didn't put snowshoes on until coming down into Echo Valley... and then
on the way out we just decided to wear them out the entire way. Much of trail along the
Merced was snow free but we'd do the old on/off b/c the snow was terrible.
WWCD? Chick-on would leave the snowshoes in the car.
Have fun

How about here?
If you look closely, you can barely identify where Chick-on was tunneling underneath the snow.
Unfortunately, he became misoriented and took a hard left directly into the rock outcropping (just past the flora).

O, and bummer couldn't get a view from Olmsted. O well. One of those deals where
if would have not gone the sky would have opened up and it would have been gorgeous out
after heading back down.
It was another trip where 30% chance o precip turned into 100% chance of snowing all day.
At least was smart enough to bring the tent. Would have been as frustrated as
The Old Dude opening a Child Proof container in my Bivy for that long.

Looks like slabs of snow are just waiting for a footstep to start falling.

That chick-on travels everywhere. If I didn't know any better, there are probably a dozen of them traveling with different "people."
Der only one of me.
Billy looked for a replacement but I cannot be replaced!
