It only rained a little bit, off and on, no umbrellas required. The rain didn’t deter Linda, Maggie, Beth, Gail, Ron, Judy, Jeannie, Bonnie, Sara, Gary, Vanessa, Tom, Becky, Sonya or Rachelle! (I was just practicing my memory skills.) I saw this on my way over to the studio this morning. A grey day really […]
Thanksgiving in Mineral King
Yup. We had cheese and crackers and apple and dark chocolate for Thanksgiving dinner. This was our view: Is there snow in Mineral King? Some in the shade and on the north facing slopes. P.S.
