Fridays are for Mineral King when I actually have something to tell or show about Mineral King.

Trail Guy took a day trip up to MK on March 5. He was able to drive to Silver City, and then took the trackster the rest of the way. He looked at most of the cabins, checking for damage after the one storm we had (please God, send more snow and rain!). And, he skied up to Soda Springs.

Me? I was painting that day. He is retired, I am not. Thanks for asking. 😎

Hello, Farewell.

This gives a false idea of deep snow. This sign is only about 2 feet high!

This is Soda Springs, a popular easy walk in the summer time, and a fairly easy cross-country ski in the winter, if you can cross Crystal Creek.

The view back toward Timber Gap. That is Betsy’s tree, the large red fir on the right. (I call it that – not an official name.)

The classic view of Farewell Gap and the Crowley cabin.

Keep praying for snow and rain – winter isn’t over yet!
