Summer Season in Mineral King Begins

The summer season has begun in Mineral King. Normally I post about Mineral King on Fridays. This week, I am beginning Mineral King on Wednesday.

Why? Because I am the boss of my blog.

There are formulas for “successful” blogging. I ignore most of them. I don’t know how to measure success on my blog other than by hearing from people who say they enjoy reading it. I don’t know how to find the stats and would rather blog than figure that stuff out.

Let’s just go to Mineral King and forget that techie stuff. Mineral King – Land of No Electricity or Internet (unless you pay for the password at the Silver City Store)

Willows in early spring make these soft furry things – I think that is why we say “pussy willow” – soft like a kitty.

Looking downstream toward Timber Gap, dandelions along the bank, evidence of good water flow.

Two friends. Aw shucks.

Thus we conclude today’s tour of an overcast day in Mineral King in late May.

Stay tuned for more tomorrow.

  1. Yes I am. My husband and I both grew up in the Exeter/lemoncove area. My in laws were friends with your in laws years ago. Phil and Janet Tomlinson.

    • Well, silly me! I should have just asked Trail Guy and he would have sorted me out as to your identity. Thank you so much for clarifying, and happy coloring!

  2. I so enjoy your blog! You are so real! Enjoying the mineral king updates. I spent many a (younger) days day hiking and backpacking from there.

    • Thank you for checking in, Nancy! And keeping it real is a definite driving force in my writing, speaking, blogging, and life. I really appreciate your comment. Are you the Nancy that I recently sent a coloring book to?
