Well, it is a beautiful day today in Yosemite! I am looking forward to picking up wagga at at 5 a.m. and heading up. Hoping to cross paths with Brent N and friend somewhere -- either on the trail or at Curry Village for pizza afterwards.

I am heading up toward Half Dome and the cables to see how far I can get with the current snowy conditions on the trail.

I'll be taking SPOT along.

NOAA weather predicts "Saturday: A 30 percent chance of showers after 11am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. Light wind becoming west between 11 and 14 mph."
