3/30/2015

Yesterday's walk out to Myrtle Point.

Morning, ya'll. Well, there's not much to be said about the weather today other than it's a little on the miserable side. Yesterday was beautiful though, with sunshine and blue skies and the temperature finally reaching above freezing at an almost balmy 38. The low was 6, but that was more from yesterday morning's reading as temperatures hung right above freezing over night. Just cold enough to deliver .8" of rain instead of more snow, making for a slushy morning. As of right now, we have dipped below freezing again, around 30 degrees. This is going to make for some treacherous conditions walking around camp as the ice refreezes, not to mention the hike up! Everyone just be aware and pay attention to your steps while hiking today. Watch out for ice especially on top of snow!
Keep safe and warm today!

The pics are beauts. Only met Ruthie once. But she was very nice and friendly. I think she will be a hit and a success.

Beautiful pictures, Ruthie.

I so enjoyed the poetic musings of JP and his winter caretaker predecessors. I can understand that the manager of this amazing business might not have the time or inclination to continue those musings in the summer. Is there a crew member who might be poetically/musingly inclined to contribute to the blog in the "regular" season? It would be a welcome addition for me, and I'm betting for many based on the comments JP (and earlier winter bloggers) received.

Maybe blog-by-committee could work. If someone has a contribution on the beauty/inspiration/something special about LeConte or the mountains in general - just do it, without a daily commitment to blog.

Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks, Jerry. I should probably just get a John Muir quotation book and read one every day when I look at the blog!!
