Spent the weekend camping in Bishop with friend Phillip Naman. He ran the Bishop Ultramarathon 50K, finishing in 7 hours and 32 minutes. Not bad for his first ultra - nice job "Bossman"! I rode the mountain bike 15 miles before I succomed to the sandy, uphill trail of 4000 elevation gain - not much fun pushing a bike up that hill. This pic is our tent on Sunday night. The wind blew a howling 35-40 mph most of the night and was crushing Phillips side of the tent. We had to rig up a support system with ropes to keep it from completely smashing us.
This is an old bridge foundation in the upper Owens river with swallows nests attached to the supports.
We fished a couple of lakes on Sunday and the lower and upper Owens River. Didn't catch alot of fish, but defintely had a great time. Clear and warm on Saturday for the race, windy with cloud cover on Sunday night, snow in Mammoth on Monday.
Tough fishing on the Owens on Monday - lots of wind, overcast, low visibility in the water. I'm assuming the fish could see me because I never saw them - just the great landscape of the Owens valley.

That is a great picture of you with the fly rod and the mountains in the background. A 4HWW candidate can certainly be seen in that image. Miss You Man!
