 |
| The 'for-profit' medical clinics followed us everywhere we went........ ......Just waiting for the inevitable liver failures! |
 |
| The 'John Muir' day shelter on the way to Yosemite NP - (no overnight camping) |
 |
| Lake 'Wanda' - Named after one of John Muir's daughters. |
 |
| Enjoying the morning sun..... |
 |
| It's now 11:00AM.... note the clouds Remember the old saying... "Clouds before 11:00....Thunder storms by 7:00" |
 |
| "Did I tell you.....I don't like thunder storms??" |
 |
| And then the next morning....all is forgiven..... |
 |
| Until the afternoon when it start all over again! With snow this time! |
 |
| But then it's God's country again in the morning and all is well with the world! |
 |
| We're the weird ones out here!.... Most people come here to fish! (Probably more logical than just chasing rabbits up mountains) |
 |
| "Rest time!....chasing rabbits is hard work!" |
 |
| This is another thing they get right!.... ......have some animal carry your stuff! |
 |
| Gorgeous country....The 'Carson-iceberg wilderness' Hiking along at the 11,000' level. (except for here - dropped to the lake below to escape the thunder storms) |
COACHES CORNER:
While Darrell puts in his 20 miles a day
We kill time in other ways......!
 |
| Staff reporters John and Sandy reporting for duty! |
 |
| 'BODIE' an 'arrested decay' ghost town! An old, turn of the century, gold and silver mine! (Typewriter above was courtesy of Bodie!) |
As always....We cheat!
 |
| Here's how WE do the PCT! ......On horseback! From Devil's Post Pile to the red Cones! |
 |
| The view from the driver's seat! (Oops....I mean...Saddle!) |
 |
| The biggest problem??.... Getting these *&%# horses to stop eating while underway! |
 |
| They must have known Dan was thinking of coming here! They added 'NO HANG GLIDERS' just to be on the safe side! |
 |
| Dropped in at the Lone Pine 'Beverly and Jim Rogers film museum' (They filmed 80% of the B class westerns in the nearby Alabama hills) |
 |
| The Alabama hills!....classic western scenery! (except us of course) |
And Guess what else they had at the museum??
A 1941 Buick coupe convertible!
The exact same car I had as a young man!
(read... a long time ago!)
 |
| The car I drove back in the 70's (except for a 1964 401cu in V8, 1959 power steering, 1960 power brakes, 1962 rear end.... honking big radial tires..... Except for that..... mine was pretty much stock!) A great car for enjoying the sunshine! |
Here's one for Klaas
A great example of first-class body work!
 |
| Want bigger tires?? No Problem.... Grab some pliers and presto!....Done! |
 |
| And how do we end the day?? Simple.... a nice glass of wine by the camp fire! |
Good night until the ext post!
