Hey old friend … how is the Midwest?
COLD!!!
Hi Cath
I’m headed to Yosemite Valley and Dewey Point for a little snowcamping these next three days.
Will report on flowers when I return Monday.
Maybe a few photos as well.
Thanks for your good work!
Thanks Robin. Pictures would be cool. Have a great time!!
Yosemite Report
LOTS more snow this year than last. With some melt already taking place, the falls we beginning to show. Quite a bit of snow still in the Valley. Maybe over two feet in the more shady places.
Flowers…none in the Valley. A few yellows and the beginnings of some whites (though taught all the names many, many times by my mom when I was a kid, I still don’t remember many flower names) and one fully blooming lupin along highway 140. Along the way, on Pacheco Pass (highway 152), a mass of poppies like I have never seen. And green green hills. Gorgeous.
Our night out at Dewey Point was so beautiful. Got a few great photos and if time permits, I’ll post them here. Next weekend I have the opportunity to do a four day trip out to Glacier Pass. I’m hoping the storm window is closed for this trip so we get great views. Will see. Also, will report on flowers/etc. as a comparison.
Oh, and the burrito from Los Banos was, as always, outstanding!
Thanks for listening.
