We spent this weekend camping near Mammoth Lakes, CA. It was a beautiful area, but a bit far. On Saturday, we visited nearby Mammoth Mountain (apparently a huge skiing attraction with southern Californians) and Devil’s Postpile National Monument during the day and Mono Lake during the evening. We also drove through Yosemite on the way there and back (stopping a bit more on the way back). I spent a good deal of our visit to Devil’s Postpile playing with the fisheye lens. Since the experiences were fairly different, I split them into separate sets..

We went camping this last weekend in Big Basin Redwood State Park. Despite me forgetting to put the sleeping bags in the car (doh!), it was a great weekend. We got to try out our new tent, eat some food cooked over a fire, see some big trees, hang out with friends and go on a long hike. Here are the pictures (most are just from our hike)
P.S. It’s been a while since there have been any updates here.. I’ve got lots of pictures to share, but only so much time to write about things. I’m hoping to write about at least some of the older photo sets, but you can see the un-blogged-about sets on my Flickr page.
Another hike today using the GPS tracker with no SLR. This time there were no weird glitches where it said we went 12mph. When we got back to the park offices, we were greeted with a great view of a spectacular sunset. Since I didn’t have the SLR, a pic from the iPhone with a washed out sky is all you get.
