Grouse Ridge Campground, Tahoe National Forest
Trip Date: October 9, 2015
This trip is just too rich to go into lengthy details and descriptions. I will make an effort to be brief and succinct. I may fail. This was the Friday before Kristen and I were going on a weeklong trip of our own, leaving Monday, part camping and part cabins, but some preparation and packing…
Packsaddle Pass II, El Dorado National Forest
Trip Date: September 11, 2015
This was one of those trips I just wasn’t paying too much attention to. Our anniversary was a couple weekends ago, my niece was getting married the next weekend, we had another trip up the coast I was very much looking forward to, and then a week-long trip up into Bigfoot country that I was…
Sonora Pass w Tom, Toiyabe National Forest
