The ones at Glen Aulin camp look like chess pieces, almost enough of 'em to fill up a gameboard. It looks rather silly...the rangers/workers there could easily take them down if they wanted to.by Ohnivy-Drak - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
As many of us know, Stacy disappeared 35 years ago in the Sunrise Lakes / HSC area. Unfortunately she was never found. It's sad that we may never know what happened.by Ohnivy-Drak - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Cindy's Cafe/Restaurant in Oakdale has quality service and delicious food. It's in the same mall as the Cost Less and Grocery Outlet. Can be easy to miss on the way out (traveling west on 120, after the right turn onto Yosemite Ave). It's in the mall on the left side immediately after you see the mileage sign (Escalon 9, Manteca 20, SF 120...something like that). I recommend the BBQ Angus Burby Ohnivy-Drak - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

This is very weak sauce. What the heck?by Ohnivy-Drak - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I think they are probably just trying to be helpful, telling others "this is a good, or the best, way to go." Almost as if they're building their own trail. Majority of the ducks are silly, if not all. Some get placed at trailheads, on top of the distance signs, even at serene locations such as GA HSC.

I've seen people that have camped at that lake up near Johnson. Even at Elizabeth, seriously. They weigh the odds and risks of getting caught. Must be low. Speaking of Clark: the side with the class 4 and gendarme, which direction is that facing? Is that called the west face, or SW face?by Ohnivy-Drak - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
If people didn't buy an advanced ticket, are drivers allowed to pick them up from the trailheads along the route? On another note, I've already forgotten how the tickets were priced. Did it vary slightly depending on where you were going? So from valley to White Wolf would be slightly cheaper than going to Cathedral Lakes TH.

Well, that means you still need to boat on Onion and get that off your list. Assuming that's not against any rules. Probably a nice, little spot that you wouldn't be bothered by others.

Pick a spot, specify the season, with snow or no snow, wet or dry, before fire or after fire, or any combination of these, and you'll get a picture. Hmmm..Onion Lake. spring!

I love it when the mini dome at the top is lit up, like in Hikerchick's photo, which really makes it seem like lava is spilling out of there. Depending on how the light hits the wall, you can get multiple "lava streams" coming from the dome.by Ohnivy-Drak - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
How much of the red/orange lava color hitting the wall is natural (without adjusting exposure or other camera settings)? From my experience with the naked eye, I haven't really seen any of the lava color. It's more yellow/gold at the start, followed by pink/purple. Only a hint of lava color in the middle. The cameras I've used were more limited, but I had to adjust the exposure (darken the baby Ohnivy-Drak - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
