a little fresh snow on the mountains |

That night there was a get together off of main street, among other things there was a pack weight guessing contest (Price is Right rules) and a rope coiling contest put on by Sierra Mountain Guides. I had the fastest coiling time when I did it but was beat later. However my pack weight guessing skills were up to snuff and I won a nice Camp M4 pack. It might be my new carry-on pack (I gotta check the dimensions) not to mention a good size for other adventures. There was also a slide show put on by Peter Croft. This time I got a seat. The next morning I headed out earlyish (for me) for a nice bagel breakfast and then did a stewardship project out on the tablelands. Our group worked on delineating the edge of the road and either blocking off or making more obvious a few campsites and turnarounds. The weather was lovely and the city of Bishop helped with the festivities this year - the movie and slideshow was in the Bishop Twin Theater and the party and breakfast were across the street in the lot there as well as a Friday night get together in the Mtn Rambler Brewery. All in all a successful weekend although I did sort of strain my back picking up a rock. oops.

during - moving big rocks |
mostly after - parking camping area but you can't just drive across the desert |
