frozen Summit Lake above treeline
Wednesday, July 20, 2005
Here is Crowley Lake, one of the main reservoirs of Los Angeles' water system. It is usually in various stages of 'dry' or 'almost dry' as Los Angeles uses a lot of water. However, this year it is full to the brim. They say it is full of huge trout too, but i didn't catch any.
After visiting this lake, we discovered a neat spring up against a hill near the lake. The water coming out was about 60 degrees and formed a pool about 3 feet deep and 15 feet across. Seeing as how it was over 90 degrees, this was preferable to the hot springs nearby, so we went swimming. The water was very 'smooth' and clean feeling, and there were many small trout sharing the pool with us. Unfortunately i don't have a picture of it, though.
Rock Creek Trip
As is tradition, i spent this weekend and much of this week camping in the Rock Creek area with my father and my grandparents. Rachel also came up for some of the time. We spent much of the time lazing about because it was rather hot - well over 90 even at the campground at 7000 feet. We also spent time around the campfire, drinking beer.

wandering about again
Well, since the Solstice road is messed up, i haven't been there this week at all. I have been staying at a co worker's house we are house-sitting instead. That means very little internet access, but we had plenty of other stuff to do.
I hope my houseplant doesnt die. I am going to the Sierras for 5 days tomorrow. My camera is in the dorm but hopefully my dad will have some pictures i can post here
