Kennedy Lake - Emigrant Wilderness
10. - 11.10. 09
















This weekend I planned long time ago, I was supposed to go backpacking with Eric as part of our “getting ready for Kilimanjaro”, but he managed to hurt his back a week before so it looked that I will stay at home. Luckily Petra and Miro were planning to go backpacking too and they suggested that I can go with them. We went to Emigrant wilderness, which is between Yosemite NP and Lake Tahoe. I haven’t been here yet, so I was glad to visit new place. We decided to go on Saturday early morning (I got up about 4.30 am) and we managed to be by trailhead around 10 am. Actually earlier than our usual start if we drive on Friday. The hike wasn’t very challenging, about 8 miles, some up, but mostly leveled. It had some nice views and we met quite a few people on horses. When we got to our destination – Kennedy Lake, we also saw a couple of cows. We found nice place for camping, built tents, made a fire and enjoyed great evening by nice hot flames. In the morning we didn’t want to go straight back to the car, but since we slept little bit longer then we supposed to, we didn’t have much time for extra hiking. Our ideas where to go were different, so Petra and Miro tried to climb up to the slope above our campsite, I went to rocks further pass the lake. We decided to be back by 12.30 so we leave the lake by 1 pm. The hike back took us longer than we expected and we arrived at our car around 6 pm.

Tento vikend jsem mela naplanovany uz hodne davno, mela jsem jit na turu s Erikem jako cast nasi pripravy na Kilimanjaro, ale Erikovi se podarilo si vyhodit zada tyden predtim a tak to skoro vypadalo, ze zustanu doma. Nastesti Petra a Miro planovali jit do hor taky a tak me navrhli, abych se k nim pridala. Sli jsme do Emigrant wilderness, coz je mezi Yosemitama a Lake Tahoe. Jeste jsem tam nebla a tak jsem byla rada, ze uvidim neco noveho. Rozhodli jsem se vyjet v sobotu brzo rano (vstavala jsem asi v 4.30) a zvladli jsme byt na zacatku tury kolem 10. Bylo to vlastne drive nez nas obvykly start, kdyz vyjizdime v patek. Cesta nabyla moc narocna, asi 13 km, trochu do kopce, ale vetsinu po rovine, krasne vyhledy do krajiny a potkali jsme i nekolik lidi na konich. Kdyz jsme dorazili k cili – Kennedy lake, videli jsme take nekolik krav. Nasli jsme pekne misto na kempovani, postavili stany, udelali ohen a uzivali si krasneho vecera u teplych plamenu. Rano jsme nechteli primo vyrazit k autu, ale protoze jsem spali trochu dele nez jsme meli, nemeli jsme moc casu na turu navic. Nase napady kam jit byly odlisne, a tak Petra a Miro se pokusili vyskrabat na kopec nad mistem kde jsme stanovali, ja jsem sla na skaly za jezerem. Dohodli jsme se ze budeme zpatky do 12.30 abychom pred 13 hodinou odesli od jezera. Cesta zpatky nam trvala dele, nez jsem predpokladali a tak jsme prisli k nasemu autu kolem 18 hodiny.
FOTKY
