Deadman Creek, Deadman Summit area
Two Tears
Mono Lake
Find the bird. Black areas are brine flies	Don't remember the boardwalk below the visitor center but it's been years
I camped one night at the end of Deadman Creek Road. Hiked about a mile up the trail to see Two Tears which is still on my climbing list. Spent the next night on Bald Mountain Road near US395 with my brother in law Frank and his friend. There were a couple tiny snow banks around my first camp for my dog Mya..
Coyote Flat
The Middle Palisade Glacier
Down to Bishop while climbing up to the north end of Coyote Flat	Someone was camping at Coyote Lake. Last time I went to Funnel and Rocky Bottom Lakes
Mt Alice on the left and Mt Sill summit block in the distance (right of center)	Some locals (Saw about 6 deer total all does)
I have climbed Middle Palisade (middle) and Mt Sill (far right)
Slight technical difficulty. I was trying to get down to Big Pine when I decided to turn around in a tight place and screwed up. Spent a couple of hours in the deep mud with a highjack and a come along trying to get rocks under the wheels. Figured it would be an all day affair at least. Three beefed up Wranglers show up and winched me out leaving two foot deep furrows in the mud for 30 feet. Three dirt bikes and two Razors went down past me. The Razor people claimed that it was passable all the way for them. The Wranglers turned around because they were staying in a cabin on upper Baker Creek and weren't sure of proceeding farther down. I went back north the length of Coyote Flat to Bishop, they way I got in.
Mt Sill and North Palisade (distant left) and Cloudripper (distant right). Baker Creek leading towards Cloudripper.
