BARNEY LAKEWell it’s been awhile since there has been an entry on the blog, but it’s also been awhile since we’ve done anything worth sharing. We did manage to squeeze in a short trip to Robinson Creek, our favorite spot in the Eastern Sierras. This time we shared our secret spot with neighbors Willie and Patty, who wanted to take their new, used 5th wheel on a shake down cruise. We were gone just 10 days this time, which is unusual for us as we usually like longer trips.
We accidently caught a few fish, but not so many as to deplete the stream. We really didn’t try too hard as we were very busy relaxing, sleeping in and making sure there was enough beer and wine for our daily 4 pm happy hour. As is my custom, I had intended to go on a hike every other day, but due to blusters caused by new boots, I was sidelined most of the time. I did make it the 4 miles to Barney Lake but had to struggle on the return as the blisters got larger. I had intended to attempt Mt. Dana again, but it will have to wait till next year. On one short stroll, the trail led to a bridge across a creek. On the other side next to a tree sat a bear, who I figured would move on when it saw me. As I started to cross the bridge, the bear stood and challenged me by making a short charge in my direction. I did the prudent thing and found somewhere else to cross. Turns out there were two cubs in the tree.
