Snowy Monk: July 2015
http://snowymonk.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Since snow monkey was already taken. and no one could spell my last blog name. including myself. Monday, July 27, 2015. Summit Rides: a X-ride up Tam. Obligatory GG Bridge shot. Grey fox = big cat food. Fireroads forever. Perfect X-riding territory. Some fun singletrack sections. Chased a wild turkey through a herd of deer. One of the reasons why Mt. Tam is so special. Looking back at Karl and the bay. Only if this trail was waiting for me at the top. Https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Posted by Yu Kuwabara.

Snowy Monk: January 2015
http://snowymonk.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Since snow monkey was already taken. and no one could spell my last blog name. including myself. Monday, January 26, 2015. B-day Report: Sam P Taylor! Dickson lookout at the top of Berabe Mountain. I reserved some camping cabins at Samuel P Taylor a while back, and as luck would have it, the June-uary weather pattern we have been experiencing the last 2 winters is back in full effect. But it did get cold and dark, so we were very grateful of the heaters in our cabins. Firepit, table, bbq, cabin. When we ...

Summer 2013: All Things Camp Echo. Radio silence is over. The spring wasn't all Cham Cham fun time.

Snowy Photos: February 13th-15th, 2013: Return to the Scene of the Crime
http://www.snowyphotos.com/2013/04/february-13th-15th-return-to-scene-of.html
February 13th-15th, 2013: Return to the Scene of the Crime. Our first morning was spent hiking to the top of Talking Mountain, with the classic view of Tahoe, Sierra at Tahoe, and the Crystal Range. Boom! It never gets old. The ski up, on the other hand, got old quickly. Ice, hard pack, more ice, and a bit of crust, frustrated us on the way up. We did manage to find a few pockets of good snow on the way down, working further west along the ridge towards Mt. Ralston. The Talking Dead (Tree). Schwinn Varsi...
