I enjoyed this report very much. Has the weather been kind of different this year, or was it just a freak 2 days? I notice the Old Farmers Almanac forecast for this period is "T-Storms then cool, followed by showers and cool, then back to T-storms and cool"

The weather has been very screwed up this hole past year. Winter did not really start till late november and we did not get any snow in the valley till 1 week before christmas. Then it normally starts to warm up by February but winter stretched through March. Then the "spring" rains hung around through late June. Now we are having rain and cool (late fall) kind of weather that we would normally not see till mid- late October. So our summer that is normally 4-4 & 1/2 months above 80 degrees has realy only been 6 weeks instead. Very weird. Global Warming my ***

Were I live it should be at least in the 90's every day, which is perfect cause that makes it in the 70's in the mountains. A couple weeks ago the daytime high was 106 one day and 56 two days later.

WOW, That one photo where you are looking down on your groups is unbeleiveable. Did you hike on ahead to get that shot?
I am still amazed at photos of mountain side without trees. We have no such thing here as "above tree line"
Thanks for a great report and such nice photos.
