This is how “the potholes” were running recently. It is wonderful to see all the water!
This is how Sawtooth looked on the way up the hill. (That’s flannel bush in the foreground).
This is an unnamed drainage, coming down from Empire, about 2 miles below the Mineral King Valley. Every possible drainage is flowing.
This is looking back down the road through what remains of the avalanche by the Sawtooth parking lot.
Finally, this is how it looked out the back door of our cabin. The woodpile is accessible, so I was able to swing an axe and even a hatchet. Making kindling isn’t nearly as satisfying as splitting wood for the stove, but sometimes a woman’s gotta do what she’s gotta do.
Samson isn’t dead. He was sleeping in my studio, and I took this photo in case you missed him or wanted to see the spots on his belly.

I look forward to your Mineral King pictures! Thank you for sharing them!!
Thank you for enjoying the Mineral King photos and for saying so, Linda. This year is particularly interesting with the extra snow and water.
Great pics! I loved seeing Sampson and his belly.
Thank you, Dawn! I knew someone out there would be interested in The Bengal Boy’s Belly.
