Motoring down for the weekend, we hiked from Agnew Meadow to hike Volcanic Ridge. Passing by Shadow Lake, we hiked up the trail to leave it at a point. This peak has some fine views of the Minarets.
Descending the same way, we hiked back to the car, and probably had a fine dinner in Mammoth Lakes, CA.
At the time, I wished to have better pictures of the Minarets. An associate was working on his guidebook, and I wished some credit and use for my pictures. I did all this for free, not running any sort of a business, while other climbers demanded big money for their work. I suppose that I aggravated some, but my personal help for mountaineering is my pleasure, why I led Club trips, also for free or even at my own cost.
We had a pleasant drive back north, and my records show we climbed Elephants Back by Carson Pass the next day.
