Ben and I went up to Loon Lake for three days, the last week in July. A hot week (mid 90s) with lots of bees, gnats, flies and general bugs. Otherwise, it was beautiful. Swimming was great. Continue reading “Loon Lake July 2016 #2”

Jackson Meadows #2
This was the second campout this year after Biggs passed away about three weeks ago. So, its difficult being in these mountain settings that we all hiked around, napped and swam in together. Continue reading “Jackson Meadows #2”
Biggs Point at Loon Lake
This was our first trip to Loon lake this year and it was extremely sad. We lost our littlest member of our family, little Mr. Biggs, on 6/23/16, just the day before our trip. It was good however in that we got to process our grief through reflection on his wonderful life, and all the good times we all had. Continue reading “Biggs Point at Loon Lake”
Jackson Meadows/Pass Creek #1 June, 2016
My first 2016 campout at Jackson Meadows was put off for a couple of weeks because of snow on the road coming in. But its all clear now. This time, it was just Ben and I because Biggs had to stay home recovering from his left knee surgery about four weeks ago. The lake was at 100% full, up to the tree line. The highest I have ever seen it. The base of some trees, mainly aspen, were actually in the water. I took my DJI Phantom drone this time and had four really fun flights. I was able to even fly through the Pass Creek canyon capturing some of the waterfalls. I even was able to launch from my campsite at #30. Even with the wind, which you can see in the portion of the video that shows my site, the drone handled amazingly. Fishing was not good, similar to past years at this time. I did catch one nice sized one that I released, lucky guy. The lake, the stream, the wildflowers were all just stunning. Everything was so green and the water so incredibly blue. Next trip up is Loon Lake then back to Jackson in early July. This video can be seen in HD at either 1440p or 1080p. Check your settings.

Droning at the Yuba River
On March 25th I took Ben and my Syma X5-SC up to the Yuba River off the Bowman Lake Road just below Spaulding Reservoir. My intention was to make a full video of the whole event, Continue reading “Droning at the Yuba River”
