Kern Point Lake

Hi Maverick & GB,
Thanks for the heads up on Haeckel; it definitely sounds like something to do when the mountain legs have kicked in and the packs are light, namely at the end of a trip, not the start. Anyway, we head out tomorrow for the start of 10/11 nights out (however long the grub lasts) and from the looks of the webcams this morning, the Sierras are the clearest they've been in weeks (well, at least since CA caught fire). With our luck, the smoke will blow back tomorrow, but it cannot be any worse than the crap we're getting in LA. Plus, Calvin's post (that I just looked at this morning) gives me some hope that there'll still be some snow/ice up high to cool things off.......like the thimbles of 151rum we drag along (yeh, were not as sophisticated as the scotch/bourbon drinkers, but as far as bang for the buck, the 151 is great).
ciao,
CG

Have a good trip. I don't carry the "refreshments" anymore on backpacking trips, but when I did it was always 151--That was the only "ultralight" concession I ever made. Cheers, GB
