| Rock Detail #2 - Sierra Nevada 2005 |
Details seen around my Bubbs Creek campsite.
From the notes:
12:50—Leave the pass for the return.
4:15—Back at camp.
7:10—Inside the tent. 50º. Hiding from mosquitos. Need to rest! Definitely, yes: Another too-tough trip!
Dayhike: 8 hours.
[Update: So . . . this was quite some time ago (years, actually) and even back then I was complaining about the toughness of the trip. Huh. So it's not a recent thing.]

It's been years since I've been in the outback.
I hear that the killer bees have moved north into California, and encountering them could be really problematic.
As for mosquitoes, I've not had to deal with them in many years. I recall the Rock Mountain variety were much larger and more persistent than the small ones we see here on the coast.
With the West Nile Virus and other contagion, I'm wondering if braving the elements isn't something I want to try again.
I remember Kenny Rogers became fascinated with landscape photography, and even hired helicopters to take him into otherwise inaccessible areas to get certain shots.
The worst problem I ever had was with deer flies. My friend and I were trying out the Gallatin in Montana one day, when a swam of deer flies attacked us. I wore my head het, but my hands were still bare. The deer flies stung me right on the pads of my finger tips (ouch!).
