| Frozen Pond |
|
|
Christmas Day, frozen pond with grass, Mt. Rose, Nevada. I took a short ride with my brother up the Mt. Rose summit highway from his house in Reno. Just over the top there is a little meadow interlaced with ponds. The night-time temperatures had been dipping to the low teens over the past week or so and everything was frozen solid.

| Convict Lake |
|
|
Convict Lake in late spring, looking west. Here's a history of the name, from Francis Farquar's 'Place Names of the High Sierra':
A band of convicts escaped from the Nevada state penitentiary at Carson City, September 17, 1871, and went south to Owens Valley. On the morning of September 24, a posse, led by Robert Morrison, encountered some of the convicts near the head of what was then known as Monte Diablo Creek. Morrison was killed. The convicts escaped, but were captured a few days later and were lynched. The lake and creek were thenceforth called Convict. (Chalfant The Story of Inyo, 1922, pp. 214-220.)

| Mt. Conness |
|
|
| Mt. Conness (12,789 feet) is the highest Yosemite Peak north of Tioga Pass. The true summit is hidden behind the peak of the ridge at right center. This view is from Sawmill Meadows, a campsite that is evidently more popular to mosquitos than campers to judge by their relative numbers. |
