FWIW Mariposa Grove is still closed due to storm damage.
Yup!
My son just returned from Yosemite Valley. He reported the falls are cooking, still no skeeters but the gnats are out and no crowds during the week.
Sounds like a perfect time to visit the...
My son was on El Capitan yesterday. He reported that the falls are indeed doing their thing and the mosquitos still absent(that was yesterday...today, who knows?)
I heard the FAA paints N-numbers on the wings of Little Yosemite Valley mosquitos
Carol Flutot has done great work on every lens I've sent her.
IIRC some of the tent cabins at Camp Curry still have heaters. The deluxe tent cabins that were also insulated were removed around 2015 because it was thought they attracted Hanta spreading critters
The falls should be cooking by now, and the skeeters shouldn't be out yet, but they will be.
I don't know what's open in the valley.
The shuttle system, if it's working properly, helps ease the...
You run out of breath quicker hiking with an 8x10 :rolleyes:
Congratulations!
Welcome aboard!
Sad news indeed.:(
Have you knocked your front end out of alignment yet? If not, it's probably adequate.
Firebreaks, once they start to washboard, really do a number on front ends before long.
I've had 4WDs and will get another one next time 'round.
There are too many good places beyond where the pavement ends
Even if you never have to put it in 4WD the front ends are generally heavier...
Like others have said, a lot depends on if Tioga Pass is open. If not, Yosemite Valley is your oyster.
I don't know what is going on with Mariposa Grove this summer at part of the spiffy new...

My B-I-L saw a mountain lion cross the road while his was on a bike ride in the foothills. i think it was two years ago.
I am allergic to all cats, but I have to admit there is something to be learned from the critters:
“Observe your cat. It is difficult to surprise him. Why? Naturally, his superior hearing is part...
In Placerville a few years back, a client had a cougar rip open a heavy gauge steel mesh kennel one night to feast on his unfortunate dog.
A rare attack for sure, but I doubt if that was any comfort...
Interesting though.
I thought big cats hibernated, but apparently not.
I thought bears hibernated too, but...

Legends about panther attacks have been passed down in other parts of the country though.
Regarding mountain lions, the only cougar attacks we hear about are the ones on the internet.
OTOH, should...

There's an old story about a hiker reporting to a Ranger that she saw a rattlesnake on a trail and that her guide book said that rattlesnakes aren't found above 9,000'
The Ranger informed...
Good info if you see the cougar. They are lightening fast and when hunting most often attack from the rear. That's what concerns me!
If that didn't work, reading him a recipe for making Chili Verde might frighten him off. LOL!
Got to watch out for them Basset Hounds as well!
That I don't know. I'd doubt it.
It's an Omega cold light. It looks like a flying saucer.
I can put the D-II in mothballs in the garage. Then I'll have room.
The one I saw was crossing the Alaska Highway, somewhere in the Yukon in the snow (it was winter) A magnificent animal!
In the foothills above our little ranch was wild fig tree where locals...
ALL the condensers (many new) ALL the accessories, plus a Cold Light, extension, timer and lenses. The whole shebang!
What do I do?
It is very generous however I already have a D-II (with hardly...
There's a problem with that throwing rocks advise.

Over the past two decades I've noticed warning signs about mountain lions at National Forest/Parks trailheads.
A ranger I asked told me it was for liability issues---if a cougar caused injury,...
I liked Slavich and Emaks papers as well.
Now they are gone like last month's rent, next week's pay and real rock and roll :(
By all means give Fomabrom a try.
Good news for Yosemite!!
