We got away again for a quick weekend. Not too far from home and with special friends joining us. Our story is posted on our blog and you can find it here -

Mono Diggings - March 2017

We hope you enjoying coming along.

A nice trip indeed. Loved the shot of the Sierra Wave, and of Mr Ted on the porch.

A great trip report as always my friend. Though the opening may have oversold me just a bit. The morning shots from Sunday are stunning. And I know it was probably autocorrect, but I find the reference to the munchies I put out as "threats" quite funny. It reminds me of a time I served a smoked pork tenderloin to some coworkers. Though fully cooked,it was still pink inside. From then on they called me Trychinosis Ted.

Mr. Pliney receives his due. Looks like a fine weekender.
Awaiting more adventures . . .

"Decadence?"


I like that, we have auto decadence. Heater set to come on at 6:00 am keep me in bed until warm. ;-)

Ted, thanks for the heads up on my misspelling. It's corrected. Your food is never a threat.

Ski, fun trip, thanks for sharing. A bit warmer here at the beach in Galveston.

Ted these "weird" names seem to follow you.
Ted the "axe" now "Trichinosis Ted"
Nice food though. Looks like a fun time.

Good trip you four! You were above mono fissures on that side of the lake, have you been there yet. Not that hard to visit.

 

[Ted]

Hi Patrick. Actually, we have been discussing that very location for a near future trip.

 

[ski3pin]

Thank you to everyone for your very nice comments. There is so much to see and experience out there. We are so lucky.

I'm liking the auto decadence in this instance. I don't like to be cold..... Minimalist does not include lack of heat...lol

 

[ski3pin]

We enjoy decadence. The thermostat is placed so it is easy to turn on from the bunk.

Programmable thermostats like Bill's are a simple installation.

I can't reach my thermostat. All the more reason to stay in bed!

You had me at the first picture. Whenever I'm near Santa Rosa, CA, I stop at Russian River for a Pliny. I even managed to find one of Ted's hidden Pliny's near Truckee a couple of years ago.

It looked like you all had a great time and picked a very nice place to "just get away." I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed it, but one picture you took of the rock formation looked just like the head of a bison.

Thanks for sharing this and inspiring me to "just get away" soon.
