"Fotofluff" taken while Gene inspected the base of the Water Streaks. I was that tired from not having slept and that exhausted from all the hard coughing (my inhaler got stolen in the pack & another hasn't yet come in the mail) that I just couldn't muster the energy to accompany him.Decisions, decisions.
And T Hocking, I gave that CD of yours, Sounds from the Next Stall, to Gene, as I have it loaded down to my music files. Hope you and Mo had a great weekend at Tahoe, buddy!

Why is Clover Meadow so far from Beasore Meadows? Shouldn't like things be grouped together? I can tell you that you'll most likely be sore if you have to walk that far just to look at flowers.
Time you get there, you'll be jonesing for a beer, food and/or soda

Sez L. Brujo from South Bay Shore. "Aw, poop! The guy's right. Let's meander on down the road, Mouse."Really, just cattle eggs.
And so we booked to Oakhurst, laughing all the way.

After that sobering experience watching the start of the Junction fire we passed thru Nip, which got toasted in the Harlow fire.
Before crossing the S. Fork of the Chowchilla River we stopped for a brew in the vicinity of Gene's aunt's ranch, but he didn't want to go up the long dirt road right then. There is an abandoned sawmill near where we rested among the oaks and the buckeyes and GRAY PINES, not "Digger pines."
As we approached the S. Fork of the Chowchilla R. I suggested a side trip to Jerseydale to view the S. Fork of the Merced R. as well.
We turned off 49 at Bootjack (What in hell is a bootjack? I already know where in hell it is.) and headed up Darrah Road to Jerseydale Road to the overlook near the beginning of the Hite Cove 4WD trail.
I have a confession. I was in error last October when I published my TR on Brown Peak. I've since come to find that the map I used that day was in serious error. It named these two peaks incorrectly. So I didn't ascend Brown Peak, but Pinoche Peak.

That was fun, despite the awkward beginnings. Thanks for the comments, gang.

A bootjack is the way certain folks (Mexicans, Polish folks, retired rock climbers, hodads, ex U.S. Presidents named Bush, Eldridge Cleaver, Sonny Barger ...) raise their cars up in order to change a (stolen) tire.
Bootlicker? I'll leave it to the imagination.
I went to Bass Lake once. I did not see one Bass. I was at least hoping for Mitch Mitchell (whom my ex-wife "dated', on second thought maybe it was Noel Redding). OK was hoping to see Phil Lesh.

Not this?
Sure looks like Dylan's MC. Can we get an ID check on that plate?

You have won one of these marvelous pieces of technology, zBrown, for your prompt and concise answer to the serious question, "Bootjack, WTF?"
Vintage 1959. The "three-handed phone."It wasn't until 1964 that the 'sliding-around POS' got a ten-digit touch tone keyboard which replaced the dial, thus eliminating the phone's tendency to move around when dialed.

We are almost Berkeley enough tonight, it seems, but this should do it.

What is hip replacement?
What The, Who The, and Where The, the Fabulous Fuzzy Freaks.
But the fact remains I can only identify Who The. I'm leery of the others' real IDs.

On The Tonight Show, Johnny Carson once did a sketch where they were "retiring the Dolly Parton Jokes", which they did in a skit where they threw out every Boob Joke they could.
At the start of the skit they went to the Grave of Retired Jokes, where Carson read a few that had seen their day, like Euell Gibbons jokes and Tiny Tim jokes.
Sadly, I can't recall any of those jokes. All I can remember are the Dolly Parton gags. From a web forum.
As for Euell Gibbons...

As for Tiny Tim, I'll let TimidToprope have a go, if he will oblige us.

Update
In 1972, Glenn Perry a preposterous computer programer read "Center of the Cyclone" by Dr John C. Lilly, took a workshop with Dr. Lilly and turned his life around. Until then, Glenn's view of reality conformed to the traditional, Western, scientific model. In a very short time, his point of view expanded, allowing him to consider, examine and even adopt adeas and thoughts that were not necessarily "provable".
That's preposterous, not poseur-ious

It would be gauche to post this you-know-where, I'm sure. It would lead to no end of controversy.
And
I might-could be tacobanned
Quicker than a one-night stand.
So I'll just post it here 'n that'll be that.
Pictify your soul.

Muchissimas gracimas, Senor Marlow. Love the vibes around here today. Can I get you a drink? I have only native hooch and no ice, however. I'm visiting in Djakarta's boondocks in my mind over some iced Folger's freeze-dried coffee."I smoke Luckys, as a rule, but I feel like taking a walk on the wild side, Clyde."

Mouse.
If you post a camel, I'll add a lion, since the lion is the next stage...
And there's even a bird for Crimpergirl. Is it a parrot?
