atrociously hot weather struck last monday, finally some summer here, but i prefer the non-summer weather, and today we're in a Fall zone with cool mornings under fog but lifting still to a hot sunny afternoon.

we are driving out toward Bishop on monday, a place that does have the hot temperatures being just a few miles north of Death Valley, but hopefully monday will be about ten degrees cooler than usual, with some possible precipitation...

hopefully we will get part way up the White Mountains, that is if the high altitude does not make me sick, coming from sea level, rapidly, over about five hours to get to Bishop via the planned Tioga Pass, then the drive over to Bristlecone pine region.

might take a camera or two along, having not had much chance to use film or paper in the last couple months.
