Cooling off the flute after a session.

Great place isn't it! ...ever been there for spring melt?

Hi Denny,
Never been there in the spring, you can see the high water mark, and the giant trees that were washed down the stream. Must be something to see.
The Tyoga Pass had just opened a couple of weeks before we went camping, a lot of snow this year.

A friend has a family cabin in the Aspin Valley, It was built in 1935. So we shared 20 miles of forest with about 6 people.

There is quite a bit of snow!

Hope you don't mind my resizing your shots...

Oh, I see you dropped Kevin's Seery in the water? Were you able to get it back?

I can't even begin to tell you how I envy you right now. It's been close to 100 degrees with humidity of 40% to 70% (40% at the hottest part of the day) and they're saying we will break 100 for the next three days. I wanna go somewhere where it's cool! And, I can bring my delrin flute, too.

Lovely pics Jon. Looks amazing.

Nope, I got my Seery back BEFORE Jon went camping.

That's his new Rudall-style experiment in Delrin. Looks like you had a nice trip, Jon, welcome back.

dude
you REALLY need a photo editor!

and humidity? what's that?
after 5 straight 100+ degree days here in Denver, a little humidity would be nice.....but it's usually only 30% humidity when it's raining.

Hej!

My own Jon C Delrin is just coming back from Lapland... Two weeks hiking in the mountains, with rain, 5 to 15° (centigrades, sorry), no night at all, billions of mosquitos... I love Sweden.

Great tour, and great camping flute! Perfect for playing in a cold night near the campfire.

Sorry I don't have pictures yet

Jon,
I've always come in from the south as I was living a bit south of Fresno at the time. I think that pass clears sooner.

'tis good to see it again.

It was tempting to just take his...

My own creation...

The problem with going to Yosemite for nine days, living outdoors and swimming in those nice cold streams is COMING HOME!

Hi Matt,
That sounds like a nice trip, especially the mosquitos! The mosquitos were in abundance at Yosemite. I slept outside in one of those little screen room tents, that are made in China (like everything else that we get) it's frame is spring steel hoops, it sets itself up, boing! It was nice to foil the mosquitos plans, sitting in there watching them try to get in... I had a 3' centapede drill in one night, luckily I saw him before I went to bed, he would have been inches from my pillow! (collecticve hebe jeebes!)

dude

Sorry Dave...
I guess I could send you another batch of photos and crash your computer again, will I ever learn.... :roll: (He's still mad at me, after 3 years...) I just edited them and shrunk them down a bit, though it would be better for everyone to get 42" flat screens.

You might be right, but I heard this year, the pass was closed much later, due to the heavy snow there.

Glorious stuff mate!

But what did you do up there? You should have gone to Strängnäs instead and let me test-drive that flute

Seriously though, it's nice up there, if your into that kind of stuff, but aren't there tons of similar places in other countries?
Strängnäs is a town speeped in swedish history. Drop by here next time (and for heavens sake, bring the flute!!)

Hi Henke,
Well I am sure Strangnas is a nice place, but Yosemite is closer to drive to.

As for what I did, not much, but thats the idea. There is nice places all over the world, you don't need to come here.
In California, you can go surfing, then pop up to the mountains and ski.

The main park of Yosemite is a real zoo, with thousands of people milling around buying currios and eating at the snack bars, it was nice to have some solitude.

Well, everything south of Jämtland is too hot for me in the summer

and I am definitely in that kind of mosquito stuff.
I never found anything similar to the long valleys between Abisko and Nikkaluokta anywhere else, at least in Europe:
I am not used to be awoken by 300 reindeer around my tent.

But since I eventually have to go to Stockholm, I could of course bring some flutes with me...

Well, of course it's a special culture up there with Sami's and everything. I guess that when it's so close you don't think it's that special.
Stockholm is about 80Km from me sothat would be nice.
Where do you live?
