Wanted to say a quick hi from Bishop. I arrived at my campsite in the Bishop Creek Canyon area yesterday and wow, what a beautiful place. Bishop itself is baking at over 102 today, but up in the canyon it's nice and cool. Bishop creek canyon is about 15 miles SW of Bishop at about 8,500 feet. I know if I lived in Bishop I'd be in the canyon all summer. The wildflowers are blooming everywhere you look. The 13,000 foot peaks around me are still capped with snow and 10 feet from my tent is Bishop creek itself, running with a fury. Suffice to say, I'm content. :)
Alas, I have not been a total slacker. I have been working too (well sorta) taking in the sunset and sunrise (can anyone say 4am wake up) at South Lake
Here is this morning's sunrise....
I had to wait a while for the sun to join me but it was worth the wait. After the sunrise, I decided to get a closer look at the portion of Bishop Creek just south of South Lake and after enduring a never ending assault by morning mosquitos I managed to get this one....
Well, I hope all is well with everyone. I might check in again tomorrow, but after that I might not have a chance for a while. Pretty soon I'm heading off to the Bristle Cone forest just south of Bishop. It boasts some of the oldest trees in the world!
Adios...
