Did a lovely 4 day trip with the wifie. Thanks to this forum it dawned (not the
soap kind) on mwa that if we take Z bus up to Badger Pass we can hike
"down" to Happy Isles. Note to peeps wanting to put stuff in the bus
compartment... if you got more than you... then the other persons should
jump on the bus and snag some seats. We nearly missed the bus
after having been the second personages waiting at the stop. (I love people)
Anywho, hasn't snow a poo for a month now... so we ended up walking
GP road ... and then finally got to put snowshoes on on traverse of Illilouette Ridge.
Luckily few go that-a-way and we had the place to ourselves. Spent the night
up there:
Next day we go to Glacier Pt. the fun way:
And then down Panorama to Panny Pt. for lunch:
Much thanks to plawrence for the uSoft ICE link... LOVING this software!
Taking a bunch of photos and using this software is THE way to go
if you Panorama photos... blows away in-camera pannies.
And then ziggy over to near Starr King for the night:
Did I mention it was supa warm and gorgeous? Slept under the stars all 3 nights.
Out in the open (well.. in a sleeping bag). Only had to throw something over me on Tuesday morning
when it started to snow.
Third day we went up to Lost Valley and back... sleeping in LYV.
Well... after we went up "Panorama Mountain/Ridge":
Helmet Dome/Little Grizzly Falls/Bunnell Pt.:
The wife said she hoped it started to snow so she we could walk out in
falling snow... she got her wish:
Hope you enjoy. We did.
O... btw.. when got permit the ranger again told us to dig down thru the snow into the ground to go #2.
it was so warm with lots of bare soil... no need... (and I partook of the Nevada Falls outhouse anyway)
Have fun
