The date on this contraption is June 10, 1890. I imagine that is the date it was built. |
Best we figured was that it was a rock crusher. What a feat it was to get it all the way up there. I'm sure people suffered to do it. |

We camped that night in a grove of trees. This is looking towards the lake from the edge of the grove. |
We're at about 7800', 1200' up from 6400' at Kennedy Meadows.

A little further down the road...
|
...looking toward the lake at the end of the valley.
|
Zzzz

I'm always up early.
|
So, I thought I'd get a preview... |
...of the hike to the lake. |

The sun's rays finally make it into the valley.
|
|
By the way, in case you forgot, here's where it is. |

Later that day, most of us hike out to the lake.

Lake Kennedy. Time for lunch and a swim! |
Up early again, I tried for a moon shot. |

|
Off we go on the third day passing the last of the cattle.
|
The blaze of red was yellow on our way in. Snow is surely not too far off. |
