Two nights and three days with my son in the Sierra.
Jul 14, 2013 at 3:42 pm #2005970Here is the view westward from the top of Kearsarge Pass showing the 4 Kearsarge Lakes (Upper KL1 – closest to you -, Upper KL2, the much larger KL, and the small Lower KL) plus Bullfrog Lake (farthest right).
From my JMT trek of August 2009
Jul 14, 2013 at 4:56 pm #2005995I love to see kids out fishing in the backcountry. Nice work.
Jul 17, 2013 at 9:22 pm #2007266Nice report, Craig. So did you decide you're not against backpacking with kids afterall? ;)
For what it's worth, I completely agree with you about the need to keep it fun for the kids, and to clarify, I don't mean type II fun. We just returned from backpacking with our kids (and GoLite mid as well) and they had a blast, as well as a great sense of accomplishment.
By the way, I tried to leave a comment on your blog but it's requiring me to log into some various social accounts… I don't recall having to do that in the past (?)
Jul 17, 2013 at 9:37 pm #2007271Awesome area! Did you catch any trout or make SAMORS?

Jul 18, 2013 at 7:22 am #2007324Very nice trip Craig.
That store at the end had almost everthing a man could want after a hard mountain trek … ice, ammo, cigarretes … :-)
Jul 18, 2013 at 7:56 am #2007330The ice/ammo sign is in the town of Mojave, one of those little dilapidated roadside stops that consists of nothing but dirty bathrooms, liquor stores, gas stations, and fast food. A traveler's hub of off road vehicles, RVs, children throwing tantrums over snacks, and big rigs coming from all directions…the sort of place where you'd hope to walk into a bar and find yourself in the midst of the Star Wars cantina scene.
"I'm looking for a fast ship…"
My son really wanted to buy an ice cream and a case of 7.62×39 FMJ just to say he did it. Oh, America….
Jul 18, 2013 at 11:34 am #2007387its been a while since I took my AK47 out on the trails, had to think twice about that number sequence …
