Forked Meadow in January

I headed up to Forked Meadow to check things out in the winter and take some time to sift through some work stuff.  The best place to camp was on the deck of the shed.

No snow in the lower meadow.  I expected snow but this winter hasn’t been good for snow at this elevation.

Mary’s Meadow didn’t have any snow in it, either.

There was a little snow in the meadow between the landing and the cabin.

Walking up one of the fire access roads.

Dawn on the lower meadow.  It got pretty cold overnight.

 

First Days in Monterey

I found myself in Monterey at the beginning of January.  The coastline is gorgeous here.  Everything is bright and clean.  There are otters everywhere!

Dawn at my buddy’s place where I was sleeping on the couch for a while.

Little bit of surf down in Pacific Grove looking back toward Seaside.
