vacation

Well we arrived in Mammoth Sunday evening ready to relax.. pictured is the camp site. This is site 25 at Sherwin Creek campground. It is located 2 miles out of the town of Mammoth..first time we have camped in this site. second time out with the trailer...Cody and I fishing at lake Mary and Cody catching a trout on the Owens river are the pictures... Fishing was fantastic.. we did well... the water levels were low from the lack of snow this past winter which made for some challenging fishing but we made up for it and changed to different favorite places... Lake Mary has been a favorite, its close to camp and a beautiful lake. I fished it first in my float tube and just love the quiet and scenery... well we did well the first day especially when the stocking truck showed up late in the afternoon and it was non stop action.. i kept 4 and let the rest go... Cody just kept going... on Thursday Cody and I fished the Owens river and wow they were there.. Cody fished one pool and i another... Cody kept 5 and so did I... but must have released another 15... it was warm there,, 80 deg... with a slight breeze occasionally but very dry.... we drank a lot of water. I like the Owens, it has always been good to me there... no trees to deal with just the wind which can be very brutal and biting bugs which the wind keeps away or repellent and o the sun... we wear long sleeves and big hats to keep the sun burns down... boy did we get sun... we all forgot sun screen more than once and have the red skin to prove it.. boy i sure hated coming home.. would i like to live there you bet but only in the summer, i cannot stand snow... too cold for me... but i would have to work and that would just take away from being there in the first place.. oh well... such is life... more to come and the stories that go with them.. one more camera to down load pics so i can put them on the blog...
