10600' cloudbase at Hull Mt. looking east to Central Vly

Hull Mt.  from near San Hedrin Ridge. Todd and I got spanked in nasty converging air masses.

Cumys forming in convergence lift toward Potter Vly NW wind meeting SW moister marine air.
Let's see where it goes.

San Hedrin Ridge heading for Potter Vly. Lake Pillsbury, St. John Mt.

Eel Rvr diversion dam just before Potter Vly. Cumys forming on Cow Mt. to south decided my course.
