[Leica] Report from the eastern Sierra

[abridge at gmail.com (Adam Bridge)]

No, with my wife!

We returned via Tioga Pass today. There's a terrific windstorm blowing
over the Sierra. Some locations seemed sheltered while others, that
seem no less sheltered, were almost impossible to open the car door!
And others which seem like they should be a wind tunnel were almost
calm.

Go figure.

No color to speak of in the park at all and the wind was lowering visibility.

Hope your trip is fabulous because I think you've nailed the timing.

Adam
