Spring runoff has wreaked havoc on the boat launch area, at least a couple feet of sand and rock covering the ramp. All but useless for power boat launching.
No problem though, kayaks can be launched from a multitude of places... I don't need no stinkin ramp.

This lake is always a striking color, it's feed by a multitude of glaciers and filled with silt/rock dust that reflects a crazy color at certain sun angles.

A rocky start for a wooden boat

Amazingly warm for late April, I was down to a tee shirt until after sunset.
Got cold quick, mid 40's overnight. Opted to stay in the sleeping bag until 8 am when the sun hit the tent

Turned in early, set my alarm for 1AM, Aurora lights were predicted overnight so back up to the high point I went with my big camera and tripod- alas, no lights visible via eyeball or camera. Super quiet and peaceful out wandering around for an hour

Very rare to be in the middle of this lake early afternoon with no wind- usually has some impressive whitecaps racing through

Thanks Skip! Yeah, it been a long slog. Not the same person she was before the accident but heck, we will persevere. Just takes time and everyone reacts differently to head injuries and it’s definitely been a learning curve.

The lil guy is Fynn, thought he was the last……. At Christmas, we were advised by our oldest’s family, that they have another bun in the oven, their 3rd and and our 6th is due in July. An even split, 3 in CA and 3 in AZ.

A first for me….. my career is complete and I can now retire with piece of mind. Actually, I located the first indigenous Triceratops and Stegosaurus in Northern California

Jeez Louise Bugs, never let Triceratops or Stegosaurus's follow you home, they can't be house broken!

Molokai still has several, the town of Diablo does as well

Parked in the HC place. Presuming the driver or an occupant is not HC, what a special person.

I had that strange feeling like I was being watched. Looked around and found out who. Was looking down from a sign post.
