Not Shasta but Yosemite.
Leaving the 18th and coming back the 2nd of next month.
I will be at about 4,000 feet and not doing much climbing at first. There are some views looking back at the Valley with El Capitan on the left that are pretty famous. I mean to see if I can find some original expression there, first.
That last sentence will become more meaningful with the next post I hope to make.
