Spent the last four days out of the OVRLND, but didn't actually get that many pics of the rig all set up. Lemme tell you....camping at 10k feet, with temps in the low 30s overnight in the Sierras is damn enjoyable w a Propex. Lowest setting kept the camper at about 47-50, and a few clicks up ramped the temp to 75* in the AM....why did I wait so long for the propex?!?
Not a bad spot to camp.
We made some friends after a long hike in to catch some fish:
About a mile down the road from camp was a cabin w this pack team grazing freely near us; the owner came down to make sure the animals weren't bothering us, but apparently he packs all the California DFW scientists in to this particular stretch of water every summer so they can study the rarest of trout in the US. Sadly, we didn't catch those trout, but caught bows, cutt-bows, browns and a brook. Not what you want as a native trout enthusiast, but didn't get skunked.
12 hours of driving one way to the Sierras to chase some rare trout. Hike the equivalent of a half marathon on one day, and 8 miles the next, w several thousand feet of elevation change both days. Between us, we caught bows, cutt-bows, a brown and a brook, all in water that that should have native trout. The water was a bit too high, so back in September to try again. Still had an absolute blast though.
And a friend along the way...
Damn good meal after a long hike too...spam musubis!
