[Leica] Mammonth/Bishop area from SF Bay

[hartzell at alerce.com (George Hartzell)]

Probably right in the middle of the season.   

Some stuff is done, some hasn't started yet.  Great color at the bottom of 
Tioga pass with more to come.  Much finished but still plenty north of Lee 
Vining and Virginia Lake.  Heading southish today.  

It seems patchier than in years past, groves that I remember going all at 
once are changing in bits and pieces.

Pretty though.
