Angels Camp

Mom and Dad were here in SF from Tuesday through Friday. Then they left to stay in Angels Camp for the weekend, and they were kind enough to invite us along. It was over 100 there, so our little boy who likes to be outside needed something cooler. Up the Sierras we went!

On Saturday, we went to the 7,500 foot level, up Ebbetts pass, to Mosquito Lake. It was a cool 81 degrees there. We did a hike of 5 or 6 miles out to Heiser lake, and a beautiful view out to the central valley. Here's Susie and Eli by Mosquito lake as it got dark.




We're in Calaveras county, so note that Eli is appropriately dressed in a froggy shirt.

When we go hiking, Eli's favorite thing is to look at the trees. So of course on Sunday we had to go to Calaveras Big Trees state park that has two big groves of Sequoias. Big, fat, trees. We all loved them. We also had a nice time playing in a big river in the park. I made it all the way in to the snowmelt river, Susie got her legs in, and Eli got his feet in, which was more than enough for him.
