Happy MLKjr Day!

It's been a little while since the last post and winter has been mellow here in JTree. In December, Biggreentruck got a new filtering system complete with an electric pump. The new system keeps things a bit less messy and, when the temps aren't frigid, it much faster than the old gravity method. The new system still needs a carrying case, but filters are cheaper and the whole thing is much more manageble.

Now it's MLK day and it's very cold in Joshua Tree.

Climbing was put on hold for last Friday's snow day. The snow stuck around on north facing slopes for the weekend and we even came across some hidden in the rock while climbing today.

One last photo: this one is from Adobe Lake on the Lower (lower, lower, there's really water there?!? lower) Colorado River taken in the fall on NAL trip. Before the dam a few miles downstream, Adobe Lake was a Mesquite forest. Biggreentruck goes back on the road for a few weeks of NAL in mid-February.
