A friend was up on the east side and in Yosemite this weekend. He sent photos of Lake Sabrina and South Lake that showed the lakes pretty much dry!!

He also saw some early fall color, at least 3 weeks ahead of schedule.

Tuolumne was very smoky from the Rim Fire.

Visibility here at my house in Columbia is less than two miles. Ack!

I saw the images that Harley mentions. I don't recall those lakes being that low since I started hanging out in the Sierra in the early 60's.

It's possible that we could have an early fall. It sure would be nice to get some rain and snow!

I may be old and have a Medicare card, can't climb 5.11 or steep ice any longer, but I ain't that old, sir! :smile:
