Thanks! CalTrans actually stopped erecting "Bolinas" signs after the election mentioned in the article you link. For about 25 years now there hasn't been a sign on Highway 1 marking the turnoff to Bolinas. Those stolen road signs are some people's prize posessions: I'm afraid none of them...

Thanks for a great report and photos of another place I've never been... sigh. The Osprey photo, with fish in tow, is fabulous! Isn't it great the way they carry fish with one claw in front of the other making their load more aerodynamic?

Thanks for the report and all the wildlife photos. What a gang of sheep!

Beautiful country, beautifully captured! Another place to add to the list that only gets longer... Thank you.

Thank you all! I did not find the warm spring; a good excuse to return. Also the views from the east side of Mono Lake towards the Sierra should be even more fabulous once there is snow!

Ah. It all becomes clear. Someone asked the wearer of this fine watch for the time. Unfortunately it was an overcast day. Thus was born the phrase "I haven't the foggiest notion!"

I don't know enough about modern binoculars to make a recommendation based on durability or optics but I will tell you about an interesting warranty I recently encountered. 30 years ago my wife and I bought some 7x35 Steiner "military/marine" binoculars based on the fact that they performed...

In the morning, after breaking camp, I drove down the winding road that follows the canyon walls of Powell Canyon, arriving at the bottom of the canyon after 3 or 4 miles. The road crosses the dry wash (or arroyo) that is the bottom of the canyon, a fine place for an early morning stroll...

Leaving Twin Lakes, I headed out to the other side of Highway 395 to explore some of the area around Bodie. The Bodie Hills were delightful in the early morning light. From Bridgeport I drove up the Aurora Canyon road, and some unnamed jeep roads, through Sagebrush and Pinyon Pines...

Thank you all! Yes GroovyDad, I did catch fish; a couple of small rainbows in Green Creek, brook trout in Tamarack Creek and Cattle Creek. I didn't catch anything in the meadow area of Robinson Creek where I spent more time trying to extract myself from waist-deep beaver pond marshes than...

Like many Californians I was first introduced to the Great Basin on its very western edge at the East Side of the Sierra Nevada. N and myself, and our children when they were still in the house, visit the East Side almost every year. We have our favorite places. This trip was a return to some...
