. . .but quite busy. The annual Mineral King Preservation Society Picnic in the Park was on Saturday. The presenters told us about some prominent women in Mineral King’s history, and the new Park Superintendent introduced himself.
The superintendent was accompanied by someone who is in charge of the upcoming road repair project (2023? who knows?) so I asked her about the juniper in the parking lot. She said that the Park’s tree guy took a core sample and concluded that the tree wasn’t healthy enough to remain. Now my only hope is that it stays in place until the last minute, which could be another handful of years.
Next we convened at the Honeymoon Cabin for a memorial service for Jim Ingram, long time cabin friend. It was a fitting tribute in a beautiful location.
We had rain on Sunday afternoon; afterward we took a walk. Can you name this flower? Do you need a copy of Mineral King Wildflowers: Common Names?
Those are grouse on the road, not litter. Here, have a closer look. They are drying out after the rain.
It is still green up the hill. The parking is awful, but there is always room in the Tar Gap parking lot.
This little guy was comfortable in our yard in Three Rivers when we got home.
