Kayak Camping


We were off again on another adventure. This time we spent a couple of days at Loon lake (Sierra Nevada's) on our annual kayak camping trip. We loaded up all our gear and kayak about 5 miles to the other side of the lake where we set up camp. We spent the days swimming, hiking and making bear traps. The bear traps consisted of small piles of rocks placed strategically around the campsite and when a bear stumbles across one the rocks make noise and scare him away. According to the boys, a flawless security mechanism. Unfortunately we were unable to see if they worked, maybe next time.
