Wanderer's tent (left) and Tiocampo's tent

A backpacking trip over Mono Pass, in the Eastern Sierra. A group of So Cal and No Cal friends, headed for Pioneer Basin. Who will actually do the hike? How far would they get? Will they get rained out?

Frank Farmer > Wanderer waiting for the pot to boil. We stayed in the walk-in campground at Mosquito Flat. Who would show up to go on our hike to the Pioneer Basin?

Frank Farmer > Tiocampo ... Glad to be here ... hoping for a big turnout!

Frank Farmer > Gear and food stashed. In case the rogue ursine custom inspectors show up

Frank Farmer > Wanderer's car, the White Land Cruiser, shortly before sunset on Friday night. Would any other vehicles arrive, to join this one?

Frank Farmer > Saturday morning ... WLD and JDSmiling are here! In the red Cherokee, to the right of the Land Cruiser.

Frank Farmer > Wanderer, WLD, and Tiocampo. By now, we have had a wonderful breakfast at the Rock Creek Lodge, and are making final preparations for the hike. Just before this picture, however, we got some startling news. The ranger located WLD at his car and informed him of a family emergency. He and JDSmiling will not be able to join us. We are bummed out, but wish them well and send them off with our best wishes.
