Mossy Pond backpacking 25. - 27. 6. 2021

Our first backpacking trip this year was in Tahoe NF. We went to Mossy pond. Actually we didn't make it to our planed lake, but we stopped one lake before that. It was nice place and we didn't see almost anybody. The second day we hiked to the Mossy pond, which is seasonal lake. Eric was able to go to the middle of the lake without getting really wet. On Sunday we hiked back to cars. The hike took us longer than we expected. The trail was well marked, but one had to really pay attention to the markers otherwise it was easy to get lost.

Nas prvni vylet do hor s batohy byl do Tahoe NF. Sli jsme k jezeru Mossy pond. Vlastne az k planovanemu jezeru jsme se nedostali, zastavili jsme se u jezera pred nim. Bylo to pekne misto a temer nikoho jsme nevideli. Druhy den jsme si zasli k jezeru Mossy, ktere je sezoni jezero. Ericovi se podarilo jit doprostred jezera bez toho, aby se poradne namocil. V nedeli jsme pak sli zpatky k autu. Cesta nam trvala dele nez jsme predpokladali. Cesta byla dobre znacena, ale clovek musel davat pozor, kde jsou znacky, jinak bylo lehke se ztratit.

Arroyo Secco 11. - 13. 6. 2021

My preferred camping destination is Sierras mountains, but we do have a few favorite spots closer to us. One of them is gorge Arroyo Seco. This was our first truly group camping since the pandemic started. On Saturday we all went for about 2 mile hike to the river. Most families left before us because they had little ones that needed nap, but we stayed and played in the water for big part of the day. The hike back in the heat is usually the worse part of the trip.
On Sunday all except for us and another family left in the morning to drive home. We were planning to go to the day use area for more water play. When we drove down to the parking lot, we were told that the area is full and we have to leave. Luckily we managed to get parking spot and payed the day use fee so we can stay little bit longer.

Me oblibene misto na kempovani jsou hory Sierras, ale mame i par oblibenych mist blize k nam. Jedno z nich je souteska Arroyo Seco. Toto byl nase prvni skupinove kempovani od zacatku pandemie. V sobotu jsme sli asi 3 km k rece. Vetsina rodin odesla pred nami hlavne kvuli tomu, ze deti potrebovali spat, ale my jsme zustali velkou cast dne a hrali si ve vode. Cesta zpatky v horku je vetsinou nejhorsi z celeho vyletu.
V nedeli vsichni krome jeste jedne rodiny odjeli primo domu. My jsme planovali jit jeste k rece u kempu, ale kdyz jsme jeli na parkoviste, tak nam bylo receno, ze uz je plno. Nastesti jsme nasli misto na parkovani a zaplatili vstupne a tak jsme u reky mohli chvili zustat.

Salmon Creek camping 29 - 31. 5. 2021

This was our first kind of group camping with friends after a year of pandemic. We didn't have group campsite, but friends reserved a campground near us and it felt like having group campground. We had 14 adults and 11 children in our group.
On Saturday we all went for a short hike to Salmon and Horse lake and then we relaxed by a lake. In the evening we met by one campfire and had a nice time drinking wine and eating s'mores. On Sunday the group split into smaller groups. We went for 4 mile hike - Bear lakes loop. It was beautiful hike and challenging for Emma, but she covered the distance and elevation without bigger problems. On Monday we packed our tent and before we headed home we stopped by one lake for a little play.

Toto bylo naše první kempování s kamarády po roce pandemie. Tentokrát jsme neměli skupinový kemp, ale kamarádi reservovali kempy poblíž nás a bylo to jako bychom byli v jednom skupinovém kempu. Ve skupině jsme měli 14 dospělých a 11 dětí.
V sobotu jsme všichni vyrazili na krátký výšlap k jezerům Salmon a Horse. Poté jsme odpočívali u jezera. Na večer jsme se všichni sešli u jednoho ohýnku a relaxovali jsme s vínem a čokoládou. V neděli jsme se rozdělili do menších skupinek. My jsme vyrazili na 6.5 km výšlap kolem jezer Bear. Byl to moc pěkný okruh a trochu náročný pro Emičku, ale ta tu vzdálenost a převýšení zvládla bez větších problémů. V pondelí jsme se zabalili a než jsme vyrazili domu, tak jsme se ještě zastavili u jednoho jezera se trochu okoupat.
