The huckleberries in ID have been terrific. We'll be heading home with a mason jar of them. Mmmm...

That's no random meeting of busses - that's Bernie's van right behind yours!
And it kinda looks like the Balfour Ferry to me.

haha. Yes that's Bernies bus. The Bays were random. One had a TDI swap which was cool to see.
I think you're right. Balfour ferry. Such a long time ago!

Spent some more quality time in the Sierra Nevada this week. This is the West Walker River up on CA 108 near the USMC training center. Did a nice 13 mile hike there and camped at the trailhead. Temps on the way back to the Bay Area hit 108 so that was a good test for the original air-cooled cooling system.
