Kings Canyon Wrap Up
27 May 2007
I spent the last 4 days sleeping in a tent, swatting mosquitos and dodging an over active black bear population. I also did a little river wading, hiking and of course some drinking. A few friends joined us up there and everyone had a good time. We did an easy hike up the Wolf Creek Trail, mainly because we had too many small kids with us and a pregnant chick. Kings river was higher than I remember it being, so the old swimming holes were perfect for an icy cold dip. Even though it was pretty hot outside, that water was painful to get into. Didn't stop me though (ignore the stupid look on my face. second example).
One big downside was missing the Chuck Liddell loss on Saturday night. That is a fight I had been looking forward to, but I wasn't going to move my plans around it. That's a lie, I would have but we planned this camping trip way before the fight date was announced!
The saddest part was on the drive home. I couldn't stop checking my cell phone for signal. Once I got a single bar, my email poured in and I checked my voicemail. I was connected to the world again. Jeez!
Of course, this wouldn't be complete without photos. Here you go.
