On the bus ride back to South Lake Tahoe we passed through a line of thunderstorms complete with torrential rains, plenty of lightning, and dark clouds that snuffed out any daylight. The local Tahoe paper had photos of of golf ball sized hail and a waterspout over the lake from earlier in the week. The unusual weather has cleared.
The High Sierras took a lot out of me. In spite of my break, my stomach and feet are less than stellar in response to the return to trail food and hiking.
Pleasant surprise at Dinner Pass -- the local ski lodge is open on summer weekends, so I had an unplanned sandwich, fries, and soda for dinner. Afterwards, a local showed myself and some other hikers his drone.
