A Day in Mineral King

On March 8 we took the Trackster to Mineral King. There was a little traffic on the road on the way in:  It is a small convention of the unconventional!  It was fun to see Sawtooth and Mineral Peaks after painting them so recently (albeit from a different view, angle and time of year).  It was an uncommonly beautiful day with great snow so we skied a few miles up to the place where Soda Springs is in the summer (no visible sign of the rusty spring under the snow, but we may not have gone up far enough – hard to tell with the landscape so wintry!) After we returned to the Trackster, we cruised around a wee bit so I could photograph the Honeymoon Cabin. Thought you might enjoy this starker view than my usual depictions.  This is how Timber Gap looked on the way out – hard to believe I stood up above it to take all the photos for the mural last June! I had to take many photos of trees this time because it is easier to see the shapes against the snow than against the dirt, rocks and other growing things. Guess you could infer from that last sentence that this was a most unusual business trip. However, the Trackster doesn’t have an odometer nor do I want to include it on my tax forms as a work vehicle!
