It’s spring in the sierras!
Just got back from a short but very sweet camping trip in the mokelumne wilderness (just south of tahoe)! we camped by lake winnemucca, a pristine alpine lake that’s only a 3 mile hike from the parking area by woods lake. It’s supposedly crowded on weekends but we arrived on Sun so it was quiet and peaceful. There were still patches of snow on the ground and wildflowers were in bloom everywhere. And even though we camped by the water’s edge, the air was crisp and dry (and bug free!) so we got to sleep outside my tent at night and stare up at the sky before falling asleep. I loooooove not having to sleep in a tent. It was beautiful.

Wow, awesome photos! It looks like some beautiful days ….
Years ago I did a some backpacking trips along the Mokelumne River, totallly fabulous. Hence I have been pondering a TikiRobot Mokolumne Adventure for a few weeks now. But that would be work. And how can I leave work for five days? I mean, I would miss everything!!!
