Last Days of Summer Vacation

Isn't it amazing how soon school starts these days? Today was the first day of school for both of our kids. This is what we did on Monday to celebrate the last few days of the summer vacation.



This is part of Stanislaus National Forest. We turned right on the Forest Service road at mile marker 44.5 on Hwy 108 (about an hour from Sonora, CA) then went 6 miles to Eagle Creek trailhead. We just went for a day trip and played in the water, but it looks worthy of a future camping trip. We were there on Monday, and there wasn't a soul around. Camping is free in the semi-primitive campground. (No drinking water, but decent pit toilets and fire rings). Its right on the edge of Emigrant Wilderness, and the road to this area closes with the first snow, but we might try to go back and camp later this season. Looks like it would be amazing in the "Spring". (High Sierra Spring is in July).
