***May 1
– I began the month with the standard hike up to English Camp, Bull Run, and Catherine Mine. Returned via Deep Gulch trail. This was the first day that has really felt more like summer than spring or winter.
***May 2
– Did an interesting loop at Calero Park today – the first time I’ve taken a real hike here. I headed out to the junction of the Javelina Loop Trail and the Figueroa Trail and then returned via Figueroa. I’m guessing I hiked about 5 miles or so.
***May 8
– Back to Calero today, this time to do the route that I intended to do last week: the Javelina Loop.
***May 9
– Time for a quick run up the English Camp Trail and partway out the Woods Road Trail – to the flat area where the wind blows hard.
***May 15
– Tioga Pass opened yesterday so, on our annual Waterfall Trip to Yosemite, we decided to drive over the pass and got as far as Mono Lake. Trip report.
***May 16
– Quick hilly hike today so that I could get in some climbing – up to the high point on the Castillero trail via Deep Gulch and English Camp and back down the same way.
***May 22
– Most of the way out to the trail camp at Castle Rock today – both ways via the Goat Rock Trail. It was cold, foggy, and wet – felt more like winter than spring.
***May 28-31
– End-of-season ski trip to Mammoth. Drove up on Friday after work, crossed Tioga Pass in a snow storm, and camped in the desert east of Mammoth. Tele skied at Mammoth Mountain on Saturday and Sunday and finally managed to consistently link telemark turns. Yay! Drove home Sunday via Tioga Pass and across the Central Valley in 90 degree temperatures. Summer is here.
