During my early spring cleaning project at home, I came across some old photos. These are pre 2000, and they bring memories of what I consider some of the best times. I’m glad I held onto these photos. I posted some in FaceBook and maybe I’ll post some in Flickr, but then I realized that some people might want the full size images rather than the crappy version that FaceBook gives you. My buddy JR confirmed this when he asked me to send him one of them at full size.

Happy Supperbowl day everyone. After the rain yesterday, I went out and took some photos to play around with HDR. Here are the results:

Recently I had a chance to camp out with my Wife and some friends; we had a blast. We went to Kern River and it was pretty damn cool. It was a short trip, we left on Friday morning and came back Sunday night. When I was younger I would go camping all the time, I’ve been in different types of camping trips, from hardcore-catch-your-meal-and-cook-or-starve camping to cabin camping.
This time around, the experience was at was a happy medium, although some of the girls would disagree. We made camp at Headquarters, which is one of the many camp sites near the area; yes, that is the name of the camp. I think this was a nice mild camping trip because we were about 25-40 minutes from civilization, and we had running water available, but no showers and only one pseudo-toilet per 6-8 campsites. Each campsite had 8-14 people, so you can imagine the consternation of some of the girls when they had to use the crappy toilet, no pun intended.
We spent most of our time fishing, drinking, eating or hanging out. On Sunday morning, after we cleaned up camp and packed up, we stayed behind with my brother in law, his girlfriend and another friend and we went fishing one more time. We went into town around 10:00 am, got some coffee, said good bye to the rest of the party and went back up the road past the dam at Lake Isabella to find another spot to do some fishing. Unfortunately we didn’t catch anything, but it was fun nonetheless.
This was by far the most fun camping trip I’ve been in, Thank you B & A for setting it up. The food we had was awesome, the menu was well planned and executed. Burgers, hot-dogs, & chicken were available pretty much each meal, breakfast was served with eggs, bacon, sausage links, toast and tortillas. Seriously who thought camping would taste this good?
On Saturday night we had a nice treat and one of our buddies prepared some catfish, the catch of the day, and that was delicious too; he went all out and even made breadcrums from toast and toasted burger buns to batter and fry the fish. Thank you! So I leave you with a bunch of photos from the trip, and a short tip of advice. Next time you go camping, make sure you have food that people will like. From past camping experiences, trust me, the food makes all the difference.
