Shall we conclude the tale of our White Chief hike? Trail Guy thought it would be fun to go down on the other side of the canyon rather than follow the trail. I will now begin referring to him as Off Trail Guy. It was really hard. My hiking buddy and I got giddy silly, […]
Mineral King on Thursday?
. . . the saga of a busy Labor Day weekend continues. “Saga” may be an overblown word, but it is fun to use. There are never enough hiking days, nor is there enough desire to get my hiney moving every time I go up the hill. I feel the calendar shrinking, and decided it […]
Various Things in Mineral King
Happy Birthday, Judy-o!! This month I am spending a large chunk of time just goofing off instead of working. This means I don’t have much to post about in terms of my art business. But, does anyone care? And is it necessary to post five days a week, as is my habit? It isn’t Friday, […]
Lingering Wildflowers in Mineral King
I’ve spent more time in Mineral King than home working in August so the subject needs Friday as well as Monday next week. Mineral King’s wildflowers peak in July, but there are still beautiful sights in August. This girl can step out, even wearing a backpack that probably tops 45 lbs. I had to focus […]

Mineral King: 1 Hike, 2 Canyons
Last week we took in the 2 best canyons, White Chief and Farewell, with a friend on one long mostly off-trail day. The flowers were spectacular.
Variety in Mineral King
My recent time in Mineral King was varied. Have a look: The art show and sale, “Art: Inspired by Mineral King” was a hit! Trail Guy couldn’t get out of the driveway to come help me bring the show home and I couldn’t get in with all my stuff because 2 cars parked directly at […]
Mineral King 2018
Opening weekend in Mineral King in 2018 was cold, drizzly, foggy and not conducive to any photos. Besides, my camera battery was dead. The skies cleared briefly on Sunday evening. I borrowed Trail Guy’s camera for this: Monday was glorious, sunny, bright, and warm(ish). I took this from our friend’s porch Finally, here is the […]
