Got it, thanks, Lynne. Feel free to delete your address here.
Email sent. If you don’t receive it, let me know.
That is one of the NPS trail signs, and if I remember correctly, it’s around Mono Pass, looking towards the southwest, so that’s the Kuna Crest in the “background.” If you click back one page on this thread and scroll to the bottom of the page, both Flip Flop and Sir Ed Hartouni have an example of these metal NPS trail signs in their photos.

Minerals, just emailed you. Yes, I know those signs. There's a great one pointing the way to Spillway Lake. Would you allow us to perhaps use your photo? Cheers!

Just checked... Yes, that’s the sign at Mono Pass, at the park boundary. Sure, you can use the photo, but I’ll have to send you a full-res version. Photo was taken Thursday, January 5th, 2012, at 11:57 AM. That’s the northern end of the Kuna Crest, with Mammoth Peak on the far right. This was during the crazy winter, when it was so dry that Tioga Pass opened back up before Christmas, and stayed open into early January. People were ice skating on Tenaya Lake.
Here’s a photo of the entire sign.
Mono Pass
And here are a few more photos from December and January of that winter.
