Thanks LMBSGV, SSSDave, GB, Windknot, Ozark Flip, and MK.
Yes, you right Dave, I to will be back many more times to this beautiful area.
I to enjoy the storm photo's in the b&w, they convey the drama, and power
much better than color, at least in my opinion.

Great pictures Mav. I put in on "slideshow" and let er rip. Interesting choice going in over Bear ridge. How does that route compare or contrast to the Diversion Dam trailhead? I have been on the Diversion Dam trail several times, but always wondered what the ridge route was like.

Thanks Freestone.
To answer your question, shorter, steeper, and less rocky.

Mav, I sometimes think the question isn't whether your photos do justice to the place, but whether the place does justice to your photos. The storm photos, in particular, look like (magnificent) paintings.
