Our last day in the Valley started much the same as most others. It was fairly cool, but the sun would change that in a few hours. Breakfast went down fast and I was anxious to see what new adventure this route Bishop's Terrace would have in store for us.
Stories, thoughts and reflections from my life.
- Hi, my name is Andy.
- I'm a climber, skier, hiker, and biker...among other things. I believe that communing with the outdoors can give us incredible insight into our lives, build friendships that last a lifetime, and open our eyes to the larger world around us. This is my blog. Welcome.

Mini bears. That's what we called them when I first ventured out west and encountered ground squirrels. They can be infinitely more of a problem than bears. Bears will tear into your stuff in search of a piece of gum. There are horror stories of them ripping off car doors and smashing windows simply because they saw or smelled a soda can or a candy wrapper. This is why you don't leave any food in your car. Everything edible goes in the large metal bear boxes that the park service provides at campsites and at several of the popular climbing areas. Mini bears are another story...
