| Bishop Pass Campsite - Sierra Nevada 2007 |
I had camped here once before in 1961, and somehow remembered throwing my sleeping bag down in an open space in a boulder field. So, I didn't find a boulder field this time, instead hiking for a while past the pass, then finding a "stealth site" just off the trail, above timberline.
From my trip notes:
2:00—Bishop Pass. Somewhat regretting my decision to push
this far today: very tough ascent. I had thought that I’d find a place to camp
up here, but no . . . far too rocky. Will need to descend to Dusy Basin side.
2:45—Camp site! Jeez . . . ended up going way farther than I
planned. A “stealth” site, about 200-300 feet from nearest water source (some
frog ponds).

Wow.
Didn't realize you were a wilderness guy.
Frog ponds? Really?
It sounds heroic, but at our age ??
You must be in great shape.
Remember, this was in 2007. And, it was quite tough! Tougher than I thought it was going to be.
My last few backpack efforts were stymied by wildfires . . . too much smoke.
