I was gonna try some dayhikes in the Bernardinos maybe, but I got a pretty gnarly thigh bruise playing basketball last Saturday and it is still quite uncomfortable going up the stairs. I think I might be stuck hanging out with the in-laws
Have fun everybody!!!

Mike, hows the lyme thing going? I got bit by a tick this past June on a trip in the Greenhorns and I freaked out! I thought of you! Fortunately I was able to get the bugger out cleanly, with no signs of the rash or anything like that after...but I sure was watching it like a hawk.Hikin Mike wrote:Staying home...getting harder to get around. With any luck, maybe a day trip to Yosemite on Monday.

Re: Christmas in the Sierra...
We are hosting the gathering this year. Unfortunately this rain-on-snow mess we have right now turned a white Christmas into a big sloppy muddy Christmas. Oh well.SteveB wrote:OK, whether you "do" Christmas or not, what are you doing for Xmas?

I'm in Mammoth at Looney Bean checking e-mails, etc. Yesterday was windy, foggy, low visibililty and it started raining on the slopes around 1:45pm. Today was warm (temps in the 50s), and you could hear scraping of boards and skis all the way down the slopes. We managed to find a few fun runs on heavy snow. We only did one run from the top, and it was scary! Oh well, beats working!
Might hike tomorrow.
Oh yeah, my good S70 is having problems now (the one I bought Sept 05 to replace the one I droppedp in the creek). The camera door doesn't close, but still takes pics. I'm sending the drowned S70 and the cracked LCD screen S80 back to Canon for repair. Starting price is $119 for the S70 + shipping, and they don't have a price for the S80, probably because its so new (I'm probably the only one that can break a new camera so fast

On the right coast ...
We had some beautiful weather here in Northern Virginia, a little snow, and after the family stuff was all done, grabbed the kayak and headed off to a warm water discharge area of the Upper Potomac and caught an assortment of catfish, large mouth and small mouth bass.
Water temps were in the low-40's in the river. At the warm water discharge, they were in the mid-60's. Big Change!
