EISPIRATEN

Imagine seeing that guy crawl up out of the stream.

Aww I thought I was going to see some waterfalls.....lol

I thought you guys would like to see this. I was in KCNP and hiked up to this spot overlooking the great western divide. You can see Hume Lake in the lower portion. Behold...

Here are a couple I took last year along the PCT looking towards Baden-Powell.





I have more on my photo blog if you are interested.

Wow! Those first two with the light coming through the mist are fantastic!

Those are great shots!

Thanks!!

Mt. San Jacinto, I believe?

The picture was taken in early April on a Delta flight to LAX, approximately 30 minutes after crossing the California border.

Thats definitely San Gorgonio. Big Bear Lake is barley visible under the wing, but you can see Baldwin Lake to the east

That's definitely San Gorgonio. I can see distinctive Dragon's Head and Bighorn Peak as well as Mill Creek Jump Off and Yucaipa Ridge.

For a little bit of Off-Topicness...got a new camera, went to the beach yesterday (torrey pines in san diego) and had some fun.

See how it turned out:










Can't wait to take this thing to the mountains...

Here are photos from 2010 and 2011 to compare and contrast how much canyons change.
We had more flow this year (2011).
Photos are side-by-side, with 2010 on the left and 2011 on the right.

Wow awesome retrospective! That's in just 10 months?

Also more friends and helmets.

I love comparisons like that! LOVE them! Great job. Overall, I'd say I would have expected even more flow in June given the rain and snowmelt, but it obviously drains pretty well. Super cool how that logjam/rocks got washed out of there.

are both sets from early summer?

Nice work Taco, that spot where we got cliffed out by the last waterfall in 2010 has some serious "hydraulics" going on and much deeper this time.

I need to get some skills under my belt to run down that one of these days, thanks for sharing that.

Wow, lots more runoff this year! I so want to do this!!!

hvydrt, the first trip into Fish Fork was from 8-31 to 9-1 of 2010. There are a few pics from 9-11-10 in there, when we went back to get our gear. The new photos are from 6-24 through 6-26, so early summer and late summer.

Patrick, the last falls actually pushed you away instead of sucking you in. It was quite nice!

Bumping around some backroads in Mendocino with Country Girl.

Big River

Comptche Ukiah Road. Nice stands of Redwoods all the way through.

We stopped to check the thimble berries (sweet) next to this slide area. Big bunch of rocks came down on road as we stood there smacking down berries.

Unfortunately it's not that interesting when tiny, but I was really happy with this for a sunny/shady river panorama. Hardly any blown highlights or lost shadows, and the full size (10k by 4k or so) looks very crisp. I think this crossing was somewhere by the middle camp along Bear Creek.
