Finally, May 29 got a mostly clear image on the WorldView satellite. Can see most of southern Emigrant Cherry Creek drainage is melted out but not further north and east into the Kendrick drainage of Yosemite. Note there are a few clouds in the image that cast shadows that look like lakes.

Today has the clearest WV satellite image in over a month. Have abbreviated locations on below images so one not familiar will need to use a topo like:

I was invited on a trip by another member for 6/25, but I think that is still too early for my target lakes. It was a nice offer. I love the comradery here!
Snow doesn't bug me so much; Iced lakes do.
