Paul Hacker, another '77'er (oh, God, not another one!) camped at Gull Lake above June Lake this last weekend. It is at about 8,000 feet elevation. Patchy snow with plenty still left in the shadows and on north faces, with little or none below and progressively more above. "Warm and melting fast" appears to be the word over most of the southern half of California right now. Greg "Strider" Hummel
