THIS STUNNING PHOTO OF THE ISS PASSING BETWEEN JUPITER AND SATURN WAS SHOT ON FILM

Simply amazing what film still can do that digital has a problem with.

BTW, talked to my buddy, and he said he took the photo in Granada Hills.  Using an old digital camera.  He also took some photo's on old film, so interested to see how those turned out.

Latest Hike.  Back up Cucamonga Peak.  Highlight was I blazed a new trail through some fresh snow because people couldn't find the trail.

Did 4 1/2 miles this morning.

Davis dam walk again in Laughlin, NV.

Finally a day with no wind.

It's been really windy here and makes it hard to walk.

Quite a few people out today enjoying the weather which is nice to see.

Everyone going the other direction waved and said good morning.

I hope they were wearing masks.

Most did not because we were outside and not near each other.

There were actually people riding bikes nowhere around anyone wearing them.

That's like wearing one in your car alone, which I see quite often.

Friends trailcam caught some wildlife in action.

Went up to the river hoping the snow level got low enough.  Beautiful day, especially one section of the trail where the rain really brought out the sage fragrance.  But no snow.

Snow day on Strawberry Peak.  Will have video later.  Also damn.  when I left at noon, there was about a 2 mile long if not longerad line of cars waiting for the probably 25 parking spots.  But the hike itself was extremely tiring, but glorious.  Snow pretty much the entire way up the trail.

Actually it wasn't.  It was a beautiful day, and I overlayered.  By the time I got hiking, I was wishing I didn't layer as much.  And when the sun came out, I was baking.

That's when the backpack gets filled with the layers.

I never said I was a smart hiker.  Just a well prepared one.

Here is the Strawberry Peak video.

Latest hike.  Ontario Peak.  The most grueling hike I've done.  Was first on the peak, and it snowed last night.  No path or tracks.  So I had to blaze the last mile.  Lot of post holing, sometimes over waist high.  There were times, I had to crawl out of a hole.  Last time I did this hike, I was down the mountain by around 2.  This time, after 5.  

Oh, and in the pictures where it looks like fog, it's actually snow being blown off the mountain.
