Karen and Tom Wanderings

We left Yosemite and headed back to Mammoth Lakes for the night, with the intention of starting our backpack the next morning ... since all health issues seemed to be conquered.  Unfortunately, strong wind advisories were in place for several days later (reaching 100 mph along the Sierra crest, where we would be), convincing us nix that idea.  After much consternation, we decided to head a little south for a day hike to Bishop Pass before heading for home.

Our next stop was Yosemite National Park, that bastion of granite!  We last visited there in 1988, and had a few days to get reacquainted and explore some new areas.

We stayed at Mammoth Lakes for a few days ... exploring and acclimating to the altitude, prior to our planned backpack.

After Kelsey's visit to Seattle, the local forecasts were not very compatible with hiking.  But, not so in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, where it looked to be sunny, warm, and stable!  Let's go!
