High Sierra Topix

My dad , brother , and son wanted to go and camp for a few nights so I thought it would be nice to do an easy hike to start out. Also my elderly dad and brother live at sea level so I wanted high Sierra without a huge elevation gain.

Very, very nice! Thanks for sharing. Nice to have a peek at the snow levels as I'm planning the week after the 4th to grab a few nights with my bro-in-law from Boise.

The snow was melting very fast, one bank that we put some food into completely disapeared. Snow will be mostly gone everywhere by the forth.

No comments ??? I guess my pictures are a bit crappy sinse they are cell shots.

I liked all your pictures, other than the hand trout. Good to see a kid having fun.

That looked like a bottle of "camp suds" in your kitchen. yuk.

How were the skeeters?

Yea a friend brought the camp suds, I told him it was totally unessary and showed him how I use just water and sand to clean my pots, he looked at me puzzled but admitted my method worked fine. He also took a lone hike to a small lake I suspect to clean up, I'm betting he soaped upped.

What's wrong with my hand trout??? fishing was pretty crappy but on the other hand the Mosquitos where nonexistent! I pinched my barbs and set everything free. I took this picture because he was a colorfull bad boy.

it was a pretty hand trout.. I have a thing about hand trout. it's a long story. :retard:

Still nice to see generations of a family getting out there together. kudos.
