Blown south by storms and snow we arrived at JTree hoping for some relief. This was our first visit so the goal was to see as much of the park as time permitted. We particularly wanted to get out to the Astro Domes. The only time we didn't climb was when we went into town and got a motel room to watch the election returns. Back to the crags early the next day. We meet up with John & Ron early on so hooked up with them often during our stay.
