Here it is 3 days later and it's still raining out.
Man that is so cool!
We haven't had much rain the last 5 years, but we seem to be getting some now.
Which is actually perfect for me.
I'm getting lots of posting done.
Of course, not having rain is not an excuse for not getting any work done.
I've got even more new pages up and more new material on some of the old pages.
I'm reworking the design somewhat.
I like the bigger pictures better than the little ones.
However, I'm finally loading some of the pages that I built but never finished or published.
I kept meaning to finish them but wasn't satisfied with them so I never got around to it.
Might as well load them partly finished instead of not at all, right?
Never going to get everything perfect.
Life doesn't work like that.
I'm kinda handicapped by not having my photos with me at work, where I've often got the time to do something with them.
That makes it pretty frustrating.
However, I broke down and got a couple 32GB USB sticks and loaded them up with just a few photo's to work with.
I mean, that's only 64 GB's total.
That's nothing compared to what I've got at home.
But it's something.
God, I'm gonna have to do something really good when this lets up.
Maybe the Matt Davis / Steep Ravine loop on Mt. Tam or the Berry Creek Falls trail in Big Basin.
Something with lots of greenery and waterfalls since we've had all this rain.
Start getting ready for summer.
I've already got my big summer hike permits.
Go in for 4 days on June 2nd from the valley and do both Half Dome and Clouds Rest.
Pretty big for me.
Even bigger for Doug.
But before then...
I think this is the year I finish the Yosemite Falls trail.
Early spring when it's really flowing.
Probably one of those "It's 2 am and its Saturday" trips.
I could be home before midnight.
AND, that would leave me Sunday to sleep in and rest.
I would also like to check out Tenaya Lake early while the snowmelt is still flowing.
I want to see how deep it is.
When I applied for my permits this year the rangers discouraged me from going in at Tenaya lake at the beginning of June.
They said the snow melt could be as much as chest deep at the crossing.
Below waist deep, OK.
Chest deep, no thanks.
Especially not snow melt.
That shit's cold.
Then again...
Anyway, I'm outta here.
Get out and hike and enjoy yourself.
And best of luck!
