I agree absolutly too.

Jimbo,

1. Wish I'd made it to 9797 this year. I was within 1/2 mile of it! Darn. Looks pretty.
2. Don't remember the flannel. Sorry!
3. Some people age very well

Lisa,
1. A good reason to re-visit the area.
2. Now that I think about it, it was hidden under the down jacket, semi-retired
3.

It sure got slow around here...

Young Lakes, Yosemite, 1993
See the cotton clothing? This is the trip when I got full-on hypothermia. In 60-degree conditions. #cottonkills

I assume the fires have something to do with it. Sad season...

Ahh, memories. Great to look thru this.

My first visit to the Sierra (even California) was in 1989. I came from Europe and had a singular goal - getting up the Nose on El Capitan. It took three days and was not as bad as it had looked when I cleared Wawona tunnel and saw the Big Stone for the first time a month earlier.

That year I stayed in the valley for 3 months - dodging rangers and changing identity many times. Not having a vehicle made the underground existence doable.

All my old photos are slides, any advice on slide scanners? Thanks, Harlen.

do a search forums on slide scanners. There are recommendations on options.

Thanks Maverick, the forum [viewtopic.php?f=17&t=10187&p=103590&hilit=scanning#p76880] has been a huge help. I'm still researching the range of slide-scanning possibilities.

Here's a photo someone sent to me from our Asian Mountain trip in 1987. Note the tattered clothes- traveling on a shoestring.
