Mammoth Lakes, part I
Hello from the mountains.
It's the smell that impresses me the most. The pine trees and the crisp air and the volcanic dust all smells like being here. I can smell the smell and imagine what I am seeing. I can't imagine the smell just by looking. The mountains are amazing, as always. I went walking along the lake this morning before the sun had come up over the crest. It's a breezy day.
While I was walking along the lake, I saw a BEAR! Katie tells me that it is one of last summer's cub. I was walking back near the cabin when someone nearby pointed out a bear ambling out of the trees by the rental cabins and heading down toward the water. He was as far away from me as you might be if you were at the kitchen table and I was at the stove. He looked at me and kept right on walking. After all those times we looked for a bear last year, and here I saw one on my first day. It seemed a little strange to see it so close to where I was standing.
I am looking forward to a nap this afternoon, and will have a rehearsal this evening. It was good to see old friends last night, although there are several who aren't here this year, and I will miss them. Some parts of the music are pretty tricky, and other parts are not as difficult as they look.
It is nice to be here.
