Some very nice images there!
The one thing that hit me when the index page came up is the overall
dominance of blue. Of course, some of the Mono Lake pics should be mostly
blue, but even so, I wonder if the tufa is so blue-gray. It's been a long
time, but I seem to recall something with a bit more of a very light
earthy tone to it. Certainly the White Mt. pics not in direct, early/late
sunlight, look very blue. Recalling the thread about blue tints in high
altitude photography kicked off by Wayne's trips to the altiplano, I think
I'm going to make sure to take some 81 series filtering along next time I
go up high.

Thanks Moose for sending me some less-blue pictures privately. I am
replying back on the list because other people may benefit from the answers
to the following. Did you just use Adjustment Replace Color type of
command? I also read that possible slides look bluer when it is
underexposed a bit. The slides themselves look good on a light box and
scanned in, but I wonder if the exposure is slightly under.
BTW, I like what you did w/ IMG017, but I like the original IMG036 better.
As for which one is more true. I just don't know. I do know that the sky
were really blue. Interestingly enough, I am reading one of Galen Rowell's
book (basically a collection of his essays from Outdoor Photography) and
one of the more controversial essays was his theory that colors don't exist
per se, but is a property of the perception!
