An Appalachian, John Muir and the Devil's Postpile. Tuesday, August 01, 2006. Happy trails: Blog takes a hike. Apologies for not updating for a while. I was waiting for a blog site to be finished at fresnobee.com, and it's nearly done. The site isn't beautful yet, but it's functional. You can read future JMT blog entries from myself and the other reporters on the hike at:. Posted by Christina at 1:26 PM. Ambridge, Pennsylvania, United States. View my complete profile. John Muir Is Waiting.

Glacial Mystery: March 2013
http://glacialmystery.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
As a daily journalist for 35 years, this is the place I talk about field reporting in the Sierra Nevada. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Lousy winter, wimpy snowpack, but not really a record dry season. Most major California news outlets reported last week that January, February and March were the driest on record. Were they right? And, even if it was a record for the Northern Sierra, it hardly makes this a desperately dry year, as some outlets portrayed it. Take a look at the eight-station index. View my comp...

Glacial Mystery: Darwin Canyon, a mysterious, jagged, glacial countryside
http://glacialmystery.blogspot.com/2012/08/darwin-canyon-jagged-glacial-countryside.html
As a daily journalist for 35 years, this is the place I talk about field reporting in the Sierra Nevada. Thursday, August 23, 2012. Darwin Canyon, a mysterious, jagged, glacial countryside. This is Darwin Canyon, just below Mendel Glacier in the Southern Sierra. We came through here on our way to look for ice mummies on Mendel, which is several hundred feet - maybe 1,000 feet - above this canyon. I pitched my small tent on a little ledge above the tarn. Turns out, I was on someone's turf - a pika who...

Glacial Mystery: Huntington Lake in February
http://glacialmystery.blogspot.com/2012/07/huntington-lake-in-february.html
As a daily journalist for 35 years, this is the place I talk about field reporting in the Sierra Nevada. Saturday, July 7, 2012. Huntington Lake in February. You need snowshoes to get here, but it's really one of the nicest hikes I've ever had. I did it regularly over the last decade. I used to drop my son off at Sierra Summit so he could snowboard with his friends all day. Then I'd walk across Highway 168 and start down the snowy access road to Huntington Lake. Sitting on a snowy edge of a rock, listeni...

Glacial Mystery: February 2012

As a daily journalist for 35 years, this is the place I talk about field reporting in the Sierra Nevada. Tuesday, February 14, 2012. When it starts to look like this in Yosemite. This is the view from Sentinel Dome above Yosemite Valley this week. Half Dome is always the landmark you want in the middle of these shots. Everybody knows what it looks like. And if you followed the webcam. One more time: Look out across the rooftop of California in the background of this photo. That's where your water com...

Glacial Mystery: January 2009
http://glacialmystery.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
As a daily journalist for 35 years, this is the place I talk about field reporting in the Sierra Nevada. Monday, January 5, 2009. Glad I didn't see a body . I guess. We didn't find the other two bodies from the 1942 plane crash. I was relieved. I think I would have freaked out in this beautiful and terrifying place. I can only imagine how it would have looked to see the bleached hair and ragged sweaters of the first two mummified airmen whose bodies melted out of the glacier. Remember, this plane went do...

Glacial Mystery: November 2012
http://glacialmystery.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
As a daily journalist for 35 years, this is the place I talk about field reporting in the Sierra Nevada. Sunday, November 18, 2012. A lawsuit to get Hetch Hetchy back? Sitting in a Fresno coffee shop just after the Nov. 6 election, I heard a conversation that was just too delicious to ignore. I'm paid to be nosy anyway. And it was a pubic place. OK, so I felt like I was peeping. But this was just too good. Two guys - I'm sure they were lawyers - talked. Who volunteers for something like that? Says one la...

Glacial Mystery: August 2011

As a daily journalist for 35 years, this is the place I talk about field reporting in the Sierra Nevada. Friday, August 26, 2011. The buzz in Sierra after monster winter. Writer Mark Grossi and photo journalist Mark Crosse trekked the high Sierra in the Inyo National Forest and Kings Canyon National Park. Even in August, the Sierra is still draining off snowmelt from the fourth biggest winter in 50 years.). No, the mosquitoes are part of the beauty, not some kind of plague," the young man said. I think I...
