Good Morning,                                                   11:00AM

It’s currently 30 degrees and cloudy - socked in. Yesterday’s high was 34 degrees with an overnight low of 8 degrees. We still have 7” inches of snow on the ground.

Punching through the deep snow, I labored forward. A combination of inspiration and curiosity motivated me to move. The conditions made the snow heavy and slick - I trudged on. Since arriving on Mt. Le Conte, I had thoughts of photographing the mountain from different perspectives, different angles. Today would be one of those days. When the sun set, I would be in the spot I’d stared at weeks before. I looked down, tracks from a more experienced neighbor reassured my route. The black bear knew best - this must be the path of less resistance…

I labored on.

So it goes,
Seth

SpaceX rocket launch today at 1:30 pm at Cape Canaveral and might be visible from Apollo Overlook, which got its name from a Apollo launch sighting.

Where is this place you refer to as Apollo. Overlook? Why is it such a mystery? I thought I was quite familiar with the mountain top but I do not know where this spot is. Please help me out.

Seth, your pictures are fantastic. I have some favorites from LeConte but not the quality of yours.

What cameras do you use?

Thanks for your blog.
