The hike up to Eagle Peak was a hard one, but ancient bristlecones and grand views were good motivation to keep on going. The new blog post is here: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/10/eagle-peak.html

Eagle Peak

Great Basin National Park. A tough journey to one of the lesser seen ancient bristlecone pine groves in the park and the peak it surrounds.

There have been a few more white 'stuff', one that I remember is this, captured just before the entrance of La Orotava. But this one might have been a piece of debris from the heatshield, which crashed ~1600m to the east. We never got to know from #NASA what it was.

White rock, apparently no larger than 1m but, imaged with MCZ using a 110mm zoom from ~27m away, quite noticeable.
