3 mini-hikes

We'd planned on doing some hiking in the Sierras, but arrived to find that it was still too snowy. Even the road to the campground we wanted to stay at was impassable! We hiked across a little snow to get to the top of a ridge, and then hiked to the top of a different hill where there was a fire watchtower. We were out for 2 hours maybe.

We drove into the foothills and found a great campsite on a lake. We ate some chocolate-covered coffee beans and then set off on a hike around the lake. No trail, just scrambling over boulders and picking our way along tree roots. It was warm enough for me to take a dip! It felt great. (Only the dogs joined me though.)

Lentils, TVP, coconut milk and veggies for dinner - yum.
