I love the area; I feel connected to it in a way that no other place seems to fit (yes, even more than Yosemite, because there is no commercial aspect to that side of the street.) The joke being that all Summer and Autumn, I hike and backpack the Castle Peak area, and then I cross the "street" (I-80) and spend all winter and spring at the ski resort (what a life!!)

Pic was taken just hours after a huge storm; I could not even find the road that leads to the jeep trail that leads to Castle Pass (Peter Grubb hut is on the other side of the pass)

The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.
