Drove to Mentone early Sunday morning from the South bay.
Got on the 38 around 4am. As I was approaching the ranger station, I almost ran over some weirdo standing in the middle of the road. The guy was wearing a white sheet or cloak over him.
Started at the trailhead around 4:30am. Temp was in the 40's and sky was so clear I could see the milky way.
I saw no snow whatsoever until dry lake. Met Sam Page aka Daddy Long Leg. He flew by me on his way to Jepson.
I got to Dollar Lake saddle after a lot of bushwacking to find the trail. Ran out of steam so ate a spot of lunch and turned around. Getting old sucks.
On my way down, met up with three females going up the trail in flip-flops and tank tops
Got to my car around noon to a *full* parking lot.
Oh yeah, getting old sucks.
