We recently wandered over to the nearby east side of the Sierra Nevada for four nights and a couple of hikes. The adventure included social distance camping for a couple of nights with our friends the Teds. I have the story and photos posted to our blog and you can find it here -

 

Carson Iceberg & Hoover Wilderness Areas - July 2020

 

We hope you enjoy this quick trip - pretty much away from the crazy crowds haunting our area.

The older we get, a bit of salt and pepper comes out when appropriate.  :P

 

Seriously, glad to see you, and have you see too, along with the Lady and the Teds out and about.

All is well with a bit of our world.

Yup, a little salt and pepper.  A cast iron skillet, bacon grease, brookies rolled in corn meal, and the next thing you know there’s fewer numbers of the little varmints swimming around.  
 

Tasty little varmints...  Mr. 3Pin should consider the “fillet and release” method of dealing with invasive fish species.

 

Thanks for letting us tag along!

Thanks Ski great to see that area.Over the many years we spent at our cabin in Dorrigton,

we would spend a lot of time in that area you visited.

 

We always return to the East side Carson river area.

Since we have had the camper we get up there about once a year.

Beautiful places and actually I always find it less crowded.

 

Nice to hear the Teds spent time with you.Great to see Ted out and about.

Thanks Lighthawk! As always, we do our best to quietly move through an area and be as safe as possible. We're glad all is well with up north :) during these difficult times. Be safe and well!

But the poor little tasty varmint bastards don't know they're doing anything wrong!   :D

 

Thanks for the great report. That looks like a great area, I hadn't heard of it before.

 

Another one for my list!
