Happy New Year! It has been awhile since I posted anything because all I can think about is the Giant Project that I can’t talk about yet. This GP takes all my time, but today I took a day off to test drive a weird little machine.
OF COURSE we went to Mineral King! (try not to be so surprised) This is a Cushman Trackster, and it is so very much superior to the snowmobile (AKA Devilmachine). The last time I went to MK in the winter on the snowmobile, I needed a cigarette, and I have never smoked anything in my entire life! It was an ordeal. This is smoother, quieter, doesn’t smell as bad, holds more gear, is slower and more reliable, and does a neato little spin-in-a-circle trick. It also doesn’t put my husband in a foul mood like the devilmachine. It was not a clear sunny warm day. This is how it looked as we got to the top of Endurance Hill.
This is how Farewell Gap, the famous scene, the most photographed view in Mineral King looked: 
Kind of makes one want to be at home by the fire, or perhaps in front of an easel with a nice furnace blazing. (Someday soon I will tell you what the GP is.)

These pictures are so pretty! I wish that I could have gone! I love the picture of Farewell Gap.:)
What fun that would have been to ride up in that, um, big machine thingie. Even though the sun wasn’t out, the pictures are beautiful! Some day I would love to venture up to MK in the winter. It just might be a challenge to use an outhouse in the winter. Brrrrrr!
COOL ! Thank you so darn much for making my day by calling me while I was AT work in DOWNTOWN Fresno, AT my desk while you were out adventuring in a nice snow flurry at our favorite place! Bert was also glad you called!!! Great flicks! Thanks for taking those of our cabin, too – looked fantastic!
