By the time you read this post, this will all seem like distant past.

These photos are from the evening of K and my exciting Mineral King hike. I was pretty beat, but stumbled down to the bridge to see the muddy raging stream and to look up at Farewell Gap, with its sprinklings of hail from the day’s storm.

There was still some hail left the next morning, but the stream had subsided and was clear. (No water photos, so you’ll just have to believe me.)

On the way home, there was one of those alert messages on the radio, saying that there were severe thundershowers in Mineral King (along with a number of other places nearby.) The sky was ominous back toward Mineral King.

Even though it was in the 100s at home, I was quite happy to settle into the air conditioned house. I love air conditioning.

Tomorrow we will look at the Learned List for August.
