The manager of my department was messing with one of the Team Leaders and left me out of his prank. I don't have to work Saturday. I was thinking of going Friday night, but I can get a better nights sleep in Carson City, plus I can get an earlier start on Saturday. Instead of sleeping until it is light, I can hit the parking lot shortly after first light by driving down on Sat. morn. We'll see, 6 of one half a dozen of another. I should be there before 9, eat in Lee Vining if the cafe is open.
Too bad about those ski patrol folks.

The trip was great! Great weather. It felt hot at times or was that the sunburn?:) Awesome people and funny too! Some wind Saturday but not bad. You guys missed out.
The avalanche by McGee Creek was cool. I was able to view it better going home today. It didn't look that high, but as I passed by it on 395 headed North this afternoon, I saw someone standing at the bottom and the snow looked to be 10 to 12 feet high where it stopped. Cool! Big chunks of snow too. I saw a Bald eagle in a field north of Bridgeport with a couple other large birds, juveniles? By the time I spotted them I didn't have time to get a long look.

Great trip, great company!!! I used sunscreen, and I'm still burnt! I also think that in a past life Ridgeline was the foreman of a chain gang! Next time, hide the shovels!!!! Speaking of, Ridgelines call about the weather was right; overall great conditions, a little windy on and off, but our construction project took care of that! It was fun to finally see Snowy do her thing on the board! Hikerduane, Ridgeline and Trailbud, thanks for making it, and thanks for the laughs!
