• We started a day-hike out of Atwell Mill, near Mineral King. Here's Steve.
• Someone with a better memory than I could tell you what these peaks are, but whatever they are, the view was nice.
• Steve and Dave trying to figure out where we are; Steve's characteristic bent-finger point.
• Steve went to Humboldt State to get a degree in Tree-Hugging. Here he shows us what he learned.
• The day-hikers posing on a tree stump. It was already cut down when we found it - honest!
• A not-so-giant Giant Sequoia adding new life to a burn area. Go, little guy, go!
• A mature Giant Sequoia. Ho-hum, they're everywhere around there.
• Tree-hugger Steve getting hugged back.
• The bottom end of a burned, fallen tree. I just thought it looked neat.
• Our backpacking trip the following week took us through this picturesque valley.
• This is our campsite by Eagle Lake.
• Eagle Lake was clear and cold.
• There was still a bit of snow surrounding the lake, but it was melting fast and keeping the lake chilly.
• Both Dave and Steve use these hybrid hammock-tents instead of a conventional on-the-ground tent.
• Steve enjoying the sunny morning.
