Frigid temps and merciless winds guarantee a good time! Castle and Basin made a nice little sandwich between shifts for me, and the good company definitely added flavor. I look forward to climbing with you again, Gary.

Welcome to Sacramento and NCPH. I'd love to hear more about your backcountry ski endeavors. Keep us posted on your next adventure. I must just join you.

Hi Gary! No biggie on the data - though it would have been interesting to see our wandering meanders! I have been slammed at home and work and just haven't sorted trip pictures. Hopefully can get to it this weekend and then forward to you. I hope we can hook up for mountains or bike rides or both. It was great having a partner in crime up at Tioga. Be safe on Whitney - look forward to trip reports.

I didn't know the botanical name; I just call them pitcher plants. I have pictures of them on the way up Mt. Eddy, but this picture was taken on the way to Soapstone Trail Head. Thanks for the botanical name, and I'm glad that you enjoyed the picture.

So great to FINALLY connect. Look forward to sharing future adventures. Keep us posted as to the mushroom tasting :)
