Just in case you think I am only messing around while in Mineral King, here is proof that (almost) every place can be a business trip! This is what you can see from the trail leading to Farewell Gap. That is Timber Gap in the distance, and the flowers are lupine and some yellow thing whose name I have never learned.

I painted this a few years ago and would like to do so again. (Remember the blog entry about Series?) Besides, this year’s views were too smoky! The weirdest thing to me is that I kept looking for this very view while hiking to Farewell Gap and I never did see it this year. Too busy counting switchbacks. . . there are 21 between the last water source and the Gap, in case anyone cares.
