Timber Sale Area?
Two notes about this area. First, this stretch of trail came very close to being downhill skiing. Second, one wonders what the logging here is all about. This is near the CO2 Hazard Area with its many dead trees, so maybe they were harvested as a result?

Horseshoe Lake
Day two of skiing and this was the highlight. Previously I had been frightened by its designation as a "CO2 Hazard Area", but was assured that it's now safe. The naturally occurring CO2 killed some of trees along the lake, as can be seen in the photos below. At 8,950 feet this was probably my highest elevation of the trip. At 7,881 feet Mammoth Lakes is generally considered the highest town in California.
our famous breakfast table
After a brief intermission, we got our famous breakfast table back. This allowed us to alternate brief morning walks while the other stayed put and sipped coffee, tea or Wordle. It was a different routine from home, but it worked.
The Eatery revisited
This first time we came here I was a bit underwhelmed by the food. This time it was much better. Which goes to show - it's a good to give a place a second chance. You never know when something or someone will shine.
