Hey Cyldascope, have you heard any news about the snow level on Whitney?

I'm glad to see Coyote Flats is clear. Did you make it to the overlook of the Palisade glacier? How was the snow over there?

^^^ I did make it across to view the Middle Palisade region - its still looking wintery up there!

Between the haze and my camera acting up on me I don't have any good pictures.

I would imaging the high peaks will melt out fairly early this year - Tioga Pass Road is already open from the east and should be fully open by mid week!

Went out over the weekend with an old friend from Yosemite who is back on this side of the mountains.

We climbed up a steep rocky road above Chalfant Valley in the White Mountains, the pictures don't do it justice...

Took a spin from Bishop out Fish Slough to Chidago Canyon then on to Benton for a party that didn't materialize. Fun day ride.

^^^ Tom's Place campgrounds are open now, some of the lower ones in Rock Creek opening next week. Probably Memorial Day for Rock Creek Lake.

Went down to Independence yesterday for a deep pit BBQ fundraiser for the Eastern California Museum and spent the night at Oak Creek.

Between wrestling the bike fixing flat tires and picking it up after dropping it multiple times I blew out a hernia.

Had it repaired, was down for a month or so but am finally feeling like a whole person again. Some shots from my first few rides...
