1. It was a great day for T-hunting. Steve XFC’s camera caught a heavenly light shinning down upon the K6SNE Radio Flyer. Little did Dave and I know that it was a harbinger of the drive ahead of us…..

2. We consulted this very old map we have and placed the bearing through Mono lake/Carson City….Yes, yes…We know…It crosses Bald Mtn.

3. At the Interstate 5/14 split we looked desperately for a signal….but had none…….after giving the situation some careful thought……. We drove out the 14 to Hwy 395…………..BIG MISTAKE!

4. As we drove out the 14 we had several strong bearings which pointed in the direction we were driving. We thought we had made the right decision….but as we went north on hwy 395 the signal became progressively weaker….but always on our bearing….so we drove……and drove….and drove some more…. until we reached……

5. Mono Lake, and all we can say is…… The T ain’t here!

6. Great! What Now! Of course! The only way west is through Yosemite National Park……..We Meant to do this……

7. Heading west on 120 into Yosemite.

8. Time to get out the wallet….$20 BUCKS!

10. I Want a cabin like this

11. At 10,000ft you can hear the T pretty good.

12. The bearing is off that away. South of course.

13. Note to self: Keep the fishing pole in the Jeep.

14. It’s that away….40 over at Ohldman’s Point.

15. 20 over signal off of the Domes.

16. X marks the spot. Of Teddy and Muir not the T

17. Rut Rho Shaggy…It wasn’t me.

18. This small fire had us worried for a minute as we had to drive through it.

19. Luckily the USFS had the fire out in short order.

20. Not so lucky for this stand however. This is what remains after severe fires a couple of years ago.

24. Listen to Smokey, He’s a wise old bear……… OK…I’ll now get off my soapbox.

26. We called this the Compass Forest. You could tell the direction from the moss on the trees.

30. We drove through this tunnel …………

31. Uh…..Long tunnel……

32. Almost there….

33. To emerge into the Yosemite Valley.

34. 39

39. Pictures just don’t do this justice ….. Truly Awesome!

41. From Yosemite we drove every back road we could find that would make our mileage shorter, finally ending up at Bass Lake at dusk. After circling the T all through the Shaver lake area until midnight, we had to retire to Fresno for fuel. After gassing up the Jeep, and my not being prepared for an overnight stay, we made the decision to go home. The hunt was a BLAST! I got to see some country I had not seen in many years. 73! de K6SNE
