The holidays are on the horizon. If you're looking for a gift with a Sierra motif, please pay heed. I'm offering coffee mugs, made of enamel-coated steel, with Mount Whitney related artwork on them. Half a dozen designs are available (scroll down to towards the bottom):

This is a Gumroad shop. The guys who actually manufacture and ship the merchandise are the personnel at Printful.com. I'm the artist who creates the cool designs. If you want a baseball cap with an embroidered Mount Whitney logo, that's available, too. The big splashy poster, of Whitney, is the best seller at my site.

I've linked to a jpg image that shows a sample hat & my Mount Russell mug. If anyone has a suggestion for something else I ought to try selling, please speak up. Printful has a large catalog of objects that can be customized.

In the attached photo, I've added a couple of items in the foreground, which are not for sale, but which might appeal to the general readership of this forum. People who are not holiday-shopping should not feel left out in the cold.

The first is a sketch of an arrowhead I discovered in Yosemite, in September. I've stumbled across many obsidian points, over the years, but this little puppy is by far the nicest specimen. I traced the outline with the actual point on a scrap of paper. Afterwards I trimmed the sketch out, cutting it down to a convenient slip, using the edge of the point. 'Still razor sharp, after all these years! I left the point in the park.

On the same trip I found another item of interest. I picked it up inside a trashy old campsite, from out of a pile of empty cans. It was a piton coated in rust. This campsite was not located in Yosemite; it was located due north of Twin Peaks, high in the headwaters of Cattle Creek, in the Sawtooth ridge zone of the Hoover Wilderness.

I've never seen a piton like this for sale at REI. Do mountaineers still use hardware such as this? I'm not a technical climber, so I don't know what to make of it. It makes a nice conversation piece, in any event.

Anyway, thank you for paying heed to my Show-And-Tell presentation.
