Mirror Slide















Paddled out to Mirror Lake to see the Rock Slide (Ahwiyah Point) ...with stops along the way!...Post Office...picked up lunch, tuna, hershey's, elixir...and chips and gator aid at the A. Rooms (re hydrating after yesterdays hike)....clip of Pileated Woodpecker by Million Frog Meadow..(Frogs quiet today)...wish I'd been closer!!...Blue Jays there too...past the Lake...(tourists look all over for it!)....the Trail was dust covered...wanted to get pics of fallen trees...but would have to wade across Tenaya Creek...and could hear now and then small rocks still falling...not a good idea to go too close!...pic of fungus, Turkey Tail?...had lunch by Tenaya Creek near the Bridge...clip...back almost the same way...clip of Ground Squirrel, with narration!...took the Horse Trail...pic of Boulder Cave...time to time I contemplate how Fallen Trees and Rocks sort of print themselves in Time...a few seconds for falling...then a very long time in place...sorta like warships sunk in the Pacific Islands...becoming homes for coral and the fish...anyway!...clip of Raven by Stoneman Bridge...Deer were trying to get across the Road near the A. Meadow...clip..and I made my way back to Last Chance for dinner...a longer walk than yesterday..but flat!....sunny hazy blue warm...
