A winter road trip to...umm, drop off crosscut saws with my sharpener in Calpine. Yeah, right! True, I did drop off a pile of saws with Dolly, but it was the excuse for a winter excursion. The Tioga Road was open for the first time ever after January 1st, and when else would I get a chance to explore the High Country in midwinter without cross country skis or snow cover? And, as it happened, bring a friend to the glories of Yosemite and the East Side!
So: Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias, Olmsted Point, (frozen) Tenaya Lake, (frozen) Dana Fork Tuolumne River, (frozen) Ellery Lake, (frozen) Lee Vining Falls, Mono Lake South Tufa, Panum Crater, Travertine Hot Springs, and the grandeur of high desert backroads on the California/Nevada border!
