19th July - Ziggy overnights in the Kaiser Wilds

Well, I only had 2 days off to get out of town, so I decided to do an overnight in the wilds. The Zig got the nod to come along since he has already been pack trained and is the most athletic of the 3 kids. We started out near Sample Meadow and hiked in to Upper Twin Lake through the creeks and meadows. It was already late afternoon when we got in and there was no one around, so we found a nice sheltered place to make camp and spent the night at just under 10,000 ft in elevation with gorgeous views of the lake on one side and the backcountry on the other. The Zig did marvelously and is maturing nicely (although chipmunks still make him crazy....)
