Time Lapse Yosemite

So it's pretty boring sometimes at work, and after I finish entering visitor statistics (I think today we had 109- counting me playing with the counter).

I found this time lapse of Yosemite. Watch for the people climbing.

First Hike of the Year (in CA)

Tufas/Mono Lake in these 3 pics.

There's way to much snow in the backcountry, so I decided to explore the June Lake Loop trails, which still have snow cover, but not all. This involved me wanting to hike Walker Lake, but to hike

Walker Lake one needs to drive 2.5 miles up (and it turns to an up) a VT Class 3 road. So it was lots of big rocks/gravel, and I was so close but got annoyed and turned around. I miss my Subie.

So I forfeited and hiked Parker Lake, which is a much easier road. And this is what I saw.

Then I went to the South Tufas. They are interesting to see once I feel. Then it just makes you want a real ocean somewhere (Maine perhaps?). I do need to get to the coast here sometime. Maybe after busy season.
