Another fine report. I love the Ebbetts Pass area, have been camping there since 1965.

Thanks Ski. Highland Lakes is also one of our favorites.

It's just a simple place with great scenery.

 We just got back from that pass today.

Came past your friends cabin and they were gone. I always look for you there after your first time talking about it.

The Wolf Creek fine foods if you remember was the  Cutthroat Saloon, I used to stop there when the days fishing was over at Heenen.

It was a very interesting place than. It had a ceiling  full of bras,all sizes,colors and shapes.

It's nice to see Markleeville is still a nice place. Many fond memories of the town.

It's just a simple place with great scenery.

 

Can't beat that.

 

Nice trip report, as always. Sorry it ended with the sight of smoke near home. That's an uncomfortable feeling.
