Weird Signs in Mineral King

Trail Guy’s Second Mineral King Hike of 2017

Once June is past, I hope that the Mineral King posts will be of my experiences instead of just hitchhiking on Trail Guy’s. The baby marmots are out, and as always, have moved underneath our cabin. Since there is nothing that we can do about it, we take photos. (They make noise and messes that […]

Looks and sounds like a logical next pencil drawing. However, all the other drawings are vertical, so this scene will need […]

So, let’s continue our photo excursion […]
