Well, It might not have been EXACTLY high, but we did get to around 10,000 ft. I think.



Ok, It might not be EXACTLY the land of Dingus, but DMT does seem to like this part of the Sierra a lot.




Nor was I EXACTLY with MI6, but Undercover Secret Agent Man wouldn't let me post any pictures of him without some disguise, so I decided to play with that too!


With only a couple days to escape the lowlands, no real prep time, and a whole family and a dog to consider, we opted for easy camping above Caples Lake. Luckily, the campground was full so we did much more awesome "dispersed" camping!

Carson Pass is beautiful and a place I'd never been in 35 years of driving through California to get to Yosemite. Never knew that was where Kit Carson first brought emigrants into California. That Mormon trail is a cool road too eh?



Thing two was instantly on the critter hunt as usual.




That boy loves him some snakes!





Then comes food, then comes food coma.





The ridge above camp was easy and the views were awesome.

Got chores, I'll finsih up and post some more pix later.


Including a ONE TREE FOREST FIRE!
Grandfather Juniper, 700 years old (FS estimate) was struck by lightning.
SOOO sad to see him on his last day....
