So it's later than I said, but here it is.. blog of camping!
We set off on a hangover sunday morning.

Stopped for sustainable soy chorizo breakfast burritos at hugo's by the 101

we drove for ever and then stopped in Bishop, California where there are a lot of cowboy supply stores

Got iced coffees and took a dip in this motel's pool.

I decided I would really like to do a carpool tour of california(then maybe america) where we get a car pool of people and go swimming in the pools town to town.. it might sound stupid but it gets hot in the summer driving and i think swimming pools are one of our most underappreciated novelties in america. . . . so if you'd like to come email me and you can drive.

our longest bike ride, the lake to the camp site.. maybe 7 miles. maybe more.

Erin's dad locked his keys in his car with the engine on not once.. TWICE.

beautiful trail, we did 1/4 this day and the whole thing on the last day. several miles of heaven all together.

we had drinks at this place over here.. I foolishly got a pomagranate martini and erin got the best bloody mary my lips have ever touched. oh and the drinking age in bridgeport was 13 so we were totally cool.

I like the sky in these pictures, it rained that night and the next.. and we were sleeping out side drunk so it was kind of slippery and kind of cool. when it was clear there were a million shooting stars. i made enough wishes for the year.

Rhino's pool hall-- two pitchers of beer and a lot of pool and pizza.

the pool we played.. shout out to erin's favorite beverage in the background>>budlight and clamato....

we got kind of good after a while, but then we let the grown ups play. this guy down here was astronomical.. you have never seen pool played like he could play it was nuts. all balls, in ONE turn.

while the grown ups played we walked around the hood..saw the penitentiary, the library, and the court house below.. spooooky

Here's a professional picture from google.. thanks ken

the next day we hiked down to buckeye river and bathed in the hot springs.

hot/cold/hot/cold. . i had trouble adjusting.... to the naked people not the water.

drove down to town after that to jolly cone for ice cream and i got a sandwich.. was this the day we got the really good soup for breakfast? I think so.. prize winning tomato soup on main street.

after the hot springs and lunch we went back to the lake. it was windy so we only drank a bit before trekking back to camp for snacks.

cheese and wine and cracker dinner

Wait.. crap.... i am missing pictures.. it's ok. there are just some photo shoots of kayaking and sitting by the lake and river that may be absent.. here we are hiking:

bye small towns
   
that last picture has some wind mills in the background, it was prettier irl. the last stop was mojave where i DROVE ON THE FREEWAY from.. for like 30 minutes. I had a panic attack because i don't drive on the freeway you know? so erin took over. but for a few minutes i thought omg big things ARE happening. but then they stopped.

Update on my return to civilization coming soon!!!
