I’m staycationing this week, using up as much vacation leave I accrued during the pandemic as I can, before I lose it at the end of June. It was such a nice morning, so I took the Vespa into town to grab some lunch. It’s super busy in Bishop for Mule Days, but the best part of living here is that in about two minutes, I can be all by myself and out of town again. Just another great day in California. #vespa #vespagtv #scootering #bishopcalifornia #owensvalley #ilovecalifornia #californa

Pretty good Sierra Wave on the evening walk. Here’s what Wikipedia says about it: “The Sierra Wave is a type of air current created by winds that lift off the Sierra Nevada mountain range of California. Known as lee waves, Sierra Waves form as winds hit the Sierra Nevada and are forced to rise, causing water vapor to condense as it cools and forming lenticular clouds on the leeward side of the mountain range.” #sierrawave #sierranevada #owensvalley #bishopcalifornia #ilovecalifornia #california

Good morning, from beautiful Bishop, California! So good to see the sun after yesterday’s snowstorm and power outage. #snow #dogsofmastodon #bishopcalifornia #owensvalley #mttom #california #ilovecalifornia

I had a chance to catch a high school soccer match yesterday evening, and it brought back so many great memories. Watching those kids play against the backdrop of the Sierra and White Mountains, seeing those wonderful families, bundled up in the cold weather, cheering for those kids, reminding me just how special a place it is, knowing our own children got to grow up here… #bishop #bishopcalifornia #johnschwabfield #sierranevada #whitemountains #california #ilovecalifornia #highschoolsoccer

I was honored to be chosen as match referee for the CIF Div 6 Championship, at the most dramatic pitch in the state. Mammoth High vs. Fresno Christian, at Mammoth’s home pitch, elev. 7025’. Fresno won on penalties 5-4, after a great match. #cifchampionship #mammothhigh #soccer #referees #favoritepitch #mammothlakes #california #ilovecalifornia

Just the same bristlecone in full (if not exactly “living”) color. It’s protected better these days, with lots of signs saying to stay on the trail, and that it’s illegal to take photos from off-trail, which is nice to see… #bristlecone #bristleconepine #whitemountains #california #discoverytrail #ilovecalifornia

Just my daily view when out walking the dog… Mt Tom, seen from Mustang Mesa. #mustangmesa #bishop #owensvalley #mttom #california #ilovecalifornia #sierranevada

Honeymoon Lake, just west of my house, up Pine Creek canyon. Sierra Nevada, California. #california #sierranevada #honeymoonlake #owensvalley #ilovecalifornia
