More great pics- thanks Joe. I can't believe how zoomed in ya got on the shark rocks. Even after walking all the way down there, mine still came out so tiny you could barely see them.

I need to save up for a zoom lens.
Anyway, wonderful pics!

great pictures for trailtrekker & mtnflyer

those rocks are known to us locals as "fish rocks" - you can see the road used to run right beside them - but when the road was redone they routed away.

Great photos, both of you! Cool stuff! I just love that hawk, Joe! Looking forward to the others.

I'll be in Mammoth for the next two weeks but might get lucky and get a connection. I'll check in when I can!

Call if you want to hike! I'll have my cell on.

I had an awesome weekend peak bagging with all of you. Thank you all for being so welcoming. It's been a very busy week for me and I haven't had a chunk of time to download and look at my pictures yet. But all of the pictures that have been posted here this week bring to mind many great memories of last weekend. A special thanks to Snow Nymph for letting me join your group and to Tomcat for leading us on a great hike to Argus Peak. I hope to join you again real soon!!!
Take care,

As you can seen from Sooz's pix from Towne pass the next morning the snow stuck above about 4k feet. When I got over to the Corkscrew area it was snow covered over there as well. Would have tried anyway except for two factors: 1) it was socked in with low clouds (CSS conditions) and I didn't have corkscrew's gps coord. loaded into my gps. On the other side of Daylight pass the snow was all the way down to the valley floor to well south of Beatty, quite the winter wonderland.
