Summer, in the Sierras? Patches of mid Winter come floating in al, the time.

I love the sierras.....rain and all.
Even when weather sucked I was catching these. Golden trout I think

Which tent on that page do you recommend?

I have been thinking about this one assuming my kid doesn't want to backpack with me.http://www.rei.com/product/865392/b...&msid=hWxmEWCZ_dt|pcrid|52774014400|#specsTab

Re committed to second attempt this year.........my New Years Evolution!

Please god, give us blue sky.

The good news is, I don't have to buy any gear, just a plane ticket. Let the training begin


My other resolution is to go to dentist........I can see my wallet hemorrhaging now

Going to be more water up there this year John. As long as we keep getting snow.

 

[No_Bivy]

I really hope so......as long as it ain't falling from the sky when I'm there.

Would you say it is an average snowfall year ? I know last year was bleak.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

SO far so good John. But January can be dry as can February. We were supposed to get some last week and it ran over us. High got some but not a lot. Now we have the freezing temps and no rain.... See what happens.
No rain/snow in the forecast for at least a week and none last week.
