Crossing the trail behind Hume Lake Dam...."constructed in 1908 for the Hume-Bennett Lumber Company and was the world’s first reinforced concrete, multiple arch dam. The impounded water served as a log-holding pond and as the water supply for an extension of the flume..."
Below is our view to Buck's Rock Lookout and our destination for the Wednesday.
Everyday is a full day with my hoomans! Back at camp...I am semi-sleepy eyes... So much to see, hear and do...and on occasion, I need to let out some barks... That's my job, right? Campsite safety. Wednesday, on our drive towards Buck Rock Campground and dad's big ride drop site.
While mom got out to take some photos, she had this campsite watch dog run out to greet her...or let her know that she was in their campsite!
Well...a nice campsite indeed! If you can see on the right side is their house on wheels, and an amazing view looking East.
At Buck's Rock Campground, we took a little walk. Lots of big granite boulders, stickies and good smells.
Dad headed off towards Buck's Rock Fire lookout and then a 2.5hour up/down ride on fireroads back to our campsite at Hume Lake. Mom and I followed a bit on foot, but the road soon turned a big uphill, and we decided we were up for heading back to camp and taking another swim :)
On the drive back we pass Big Meadow. Looking again into Kings Canyon.
And, will leave you with a few friendly new pal pix :)
What a fun adventure.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. You are SO lucky to be able to go to a place like that! Invite us along next time. :)

OH MY! I hope the bear was just passing through on his way home and didn't try to see if he could find any food!
ReplyDeleteStickies galore! What else could you ask for besides stickies and hikes. :)
ReplyDeleteI want to go with you! I've only been camping once in my whole life! You go all the time!! You're pretty close to me...maybe we can all visit some time!!

Wow! I've never seen a bear before! (And I kind of hope to never see one... Although Mom and Dad saw one when they were mtn. biking in central Idaho - luckily the bear was as startled as they were, and everyone went their separate directions!) Looks like an awesome camping trip!!!!

ReplyDeleteSierra, you sure do love those stickies of yours, don't you? Seems like when you spot one on the ground the next thing you know - it's right there in your jaws!☺

Hey Sierra,
ReplyDeleteYou brought back lots of memories of the Sierras to my mom! She said that is really beautiful country up there, backpacking some 30+ years ago! (I guess that was long before my hooman brothers and I!)

Talk about an underbite on that campground dog! Good thing we don't know what kind of bite the bear has!
