Snowcamping, Yosemite, and friends. What better way to start the new year? We drove out to Wawona on New Year’s Eve to meet a bunch of friends at the group campground. After celebrating the new year with a warm campfire, cheap champagne, and lots of laughs, we got a good night of sleep before heading [...]
We seem to be on the right track for snowcamping this year. Two years ago it stormed every time we tried to get out. Last year there was just no snow. This year we’ve already gotten out on two great overnights. This past weekend we headed into a classic California snowshoe destination: Dewey Point in [...]

We only got out on one snowcamping outing, and there was so little snow that we were able to have a campfire in a ring that was melted out. We’re now officially ahead of last winter’s snow tally by getting out for an overnight snowshoe [...]

We spent last weekend among the giant sequoia trees of Calaveras Big Trees State Park. Saturday was cold and rainy/snowy, so we set up camp and took a short walk through the North Grove. We then warmed up in the visitor center while watching a slide show about the history of the trees. When they [...]
