Trying to decide whether to go here next week

It's snowing now at this site at 9000 feet elevation, with the snow level down at 3700 feet.  Then again, the temperature down in the Valley could get to 92, so maybe the dirt road to this site may be passable by then!

  • Cool huts!!   Can u keep a small wood fire going in one o rsmall stove??    Look at those stars__LOVE!!!  :)

  • OH, such a great place.  I've only been there in the fall.  The first time I ever saw zillions of ladybugs congregating.

  • (we also harvested a mason jar full of gigantic pine nuts that trip.  They were falling out of the trees just uphill from the kilns.  Sounded like rain or hail, there were so many pine nuts raining down.  Squirrels couldn't keep up with the windfall.)

  • I wouldn't have thought of this place for ladybugs +Robyn Peters.   I know they like the sequoia forests in the Sierra Nevada, at a much lower elevation.

  • It was early October.  I thought the bushes in front of the kilns were blooming (or something).  Turned out to just be ladybird beetles glomming onto every sheltered surface on the branches of the low scrub.
