I was sitting at a long stoplight yesterday, minding my own business, patiently waiting for it to turn green even though there was no on-coming traffic. A carload of bearded, young, loud Muslims, shouting anti-American slogans, with a half-burned American Flag duct-taped on the trunk of their...

K6ON, thanks for the Lundy Lake shots. Weather is cool here in the mornings and we're closing the windows. We open the one over the bed to sleep at night until it drops into the mid 30's. Fall's starting to take over! Ski, You're right, the two lake pics were at Lundy. The creek pic was on the...

Quick trip for a retired guy. I waved at you as you passed Heenan Lake Sunday AM. We were in the lower parking lot. Sorry Ted, I sure would have stopped and said HI if I'd seen you. As usual, me not paying attention..

My girl mentioned there being something special about California gas, even the regular, and the refineries are having problems. So there is a shortage of "California" gas. Anybody confirm this? I eat my own cooking..no shortage of gas here :-)

Meanwhile, back to the topic at hand - sightings. 10:00 AM Sunday at Heenan Lake on Highway 88. We camped at Monitor Pass this weekend and stopped at Heenan to hike around the lake. Saw WTW member K6ON (Bob) drive by while we were prepping for our hike. Sorry I didn't spot you Ted, would have...

I got home last night, still plenty of time to get to the area unless a storm comes along and blows off all the leaves.. Here's a few samples.

If you really need fuel in the area, Lee Vining, just a few miles down the road has diesel for $4.89. Still a rip, but half a buck cheaper than Bridgeport.

Welcome to Bridgeport...

Mark, I've decided to head for the Eastern Sierras on Sunday the 7th. Will be over there for most of the week, weather permitting. . Want to try to get together for a cold one while you're in the area ?? Bob

Looks good Craig, Now all you need is that Warn 12000lb winch and you'll be all set.

Mark, Try the Sacramento Bee newspaper web page at sacbee.com and use their search engine for "fall colors" as they usually have several articles every year about where the colors are. I haven't looked yet, and do plan on heading up to Hope Valley next week. I'll give you a report when I return.

Thanks Bob...weird to see a Gradby on the back of Marc's rig...talk about full circle! Marc....post 'em up amigo. Marc's still on the road, think till Sunday. Was weird to see him driving a Dodge instead of a Ford. I'll try to get more pictures up tomorrow, busy all day today..

MarkBC, Got home this afternoon. The colors are just stating to turn in the high elevations. We drove home via 395 up to 89, then 88 through Hope Valley. Colors are starting to turn in Hope. I'm planning a photo trip through Hope Valley after the first. The attached photo was taken at about...

Hey folks, DD's post was in 2006....He's been through 2 trucks and campers since then. Today he has a custom ATC mounted on a flat-bed Ford.

If you go to Devil's Postpile, say "HI" to one of my best friends. She's law enforcement ranger there: Nina Weisman. Will do Gene...

Thanks Bob...I had comms with Marc yesterday, unfortunately I'm just beginning 6-8 weeks of rehab from bicep and shoulder surgery. Would have loved to join you guys. Post some pics to rub it in! Sunni, you'll be missed. Sorry about the surgery. Get well soon so you can join us next time...

This is the best time of year to head for Devils Postpile. Normally, you can only drive the road in or out, before the shuttles start to run, and after they finish each day. However, the shuttle stops running on September 5, this year. Once that happens you can drive the road in & out at any...

Marc (fireproof) and myself are headed to Mammoth area next Monday for a week of playing and camping. Laurel Lakes is first on the list, then who knows. We'll be meeting at noon Monday the 17th at the Mammoth visitor center and heading out from there. Anyone wishing to come along is most...

I wasn't even contemplating towing a trailer behind the truck with the camper on board....until I saw this one. Where can I get one of these..fully equipped ?

Bob I'm not positive but I think you need a tail dragger. Jay, I've never flown into Saline. I have a tail dragger rating but haven't flown one it in years. Anyone that want's to keep Chicken Strip open should send comments. I've already done so.

Airports and State Advocacy Pilots urged to save Death Valley's Chicken Strip By John Kounis Pilots now have an opportunity to help the Recreational Aviation Foundation keep a valuable California airstrip open to the public. The National Park Service has begun the process to develop a...
