Quickity Peek at the Mineral King Road

Trail Guy, The Farmer, and The Supervisor (retired) worked on the Mineral King road this week, clearing culverts and cleaning gutters. This was all volunteer work, sanctioned by the Park.

The contractors repaired the damaged parts that were marked by Federal Highways; our guys did preparations for the winter, with rain predicted up to higher elevations in a few days. Their goal is to prevent the sort of troubles we had last winter.

The weather has been mild, and with all the water from last spring and summer, there are still WILDFLOWERS IN DECEMBER! (Yeppers, Trail Guy took the camera and came home with these photos).

California poppy!

  1. Butter my buns and call me a biscuit! I received the email on my phone, saw no pictures, tapped the title line and voila! Jana pictures on my phone. Life is good. And s pat on the back for the mountain woman who braved the Internet for her followers.Donna

    • Dear Biscuit,
      That is the funniest saying I’ve ever heard!!!
      Thank you for persisting. . . I’m still not convinced it is solved. Tapping on the title will take you to my website, where the blog lives on the internet. But if that works for you, then I’m thrilled!

  2. Hooray for faithful volunteers! I think the society would come to a screeeeeching halt without volunteers. Please thank the Terrific Trio for their efforts. Who knows–they may have saved a Winter 2022-23 repeat! But we still want rain, and especially snow!!

    And how nice to see wildflowers in December, especially Mary Trauger’s legendary sweet peas.
