The West Walker River in the Eastern Sierra is running high this season. In past years when Dad and I have camped here we've been able to dip our toes in the water. Not now. That current is swift and ice cold. In fact there's still so much snow in the high country that the road over Tioga Pass is still closed. That's unusual for mid-June.
I heard that the mountain rescue people are training intensively right now to save folks who do foolish things around rivers. They won't have to worry about me. I'm no dummy. Have adventures but by all means safety first!
