Lava Beds and Crater Lake NP 19. - 23.12. 08


















Just a few days before Christmas Eric and I went to see a national monument, Lava Beds, in northern California. This park is not well-known and has only a few visitor during winter. Lava flows created interesting caves here. We spent about two and a half days walking, crawling and admiring these beautiful formations. Before we went back to the Bay area we decided to head farther north to Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. The drive here was quite an experience! The road was covered with snow so it felt like driving through a snow fairyland! At Crater Lake we were very lucky; although we were told that the Lake is rarely visible during winter we had a great day with blue skies!

Par dni pred Vanocemi Eric a ja jsme se vydali do narodniho monumentu v severni Kalifornii - Lava beds. Tento park neni moc znamy a pres zimu nema mnoho navstevniku. Lava tady vytvorila zajimave jeskyne. My jsme stravili asi dva a pul dne chozenim, lozenim a obdivovanim techto zajimavych utvaru. Nez jsme se vydali zpet domu, tak jsme se rozhodli zajet si jeste kousek na sever do Oregonu k Narodnimu parku Crater lake. Uz jen cesta sem byl zajimava, silnice byla pokryta snehem a tak to vypadalo jako projizdenim zimni pohadkou. U Crater lake jsme meli velke stesti, i kdyz nam bylo receno, ze jezero je malokdy videt v zime, my jsme meli nadherny den s modrou oblohou.

Den Dikuvzdani - Thanksgiving 26. - 30.11.08


















For the long weekend around Thanksgiving, which in the USA is celebrated on the last Thursday in November, we went to cabin in Truckee, near Lake Tahoe. Instead of the traditional turkey, we had much better goose and duck with cabbage and dumplings, which were prepared by Petr and Lenka. We managed a few small hikes; one of them was even on bikes!

Na prodlouzeny vikend kolem dne Dikuvzdani, ktery se v Americe slavi posledni ctvrtek v Listopadu jsme vyjeli na chatu k Lake Tahoe, blizko Truckee. Sice jsme nemeli tradicniho krocana, ale zato mnohem lepsi husu a kacenu se zelim a knedliky, ktere pripravili Petr a Lenka. Zvladli jsme par malych vyletu z toho jeden na kole!

Yosemite NP is one of my favorite spots in the World so when I got headache from all the stress at school I knew where to go! I did quite a few hikes from valley and many of them a few times, so I was happy to hike the Glacier Point from Valley, which I haven't done yet and the second day I just relax by the Mirror lake which wasn't lake at this time of year at all.... I HAD A GREAT TIME! :-)

Lyons Lake 22.9. 2008


















This backpacking trip was really lazy one. Not many miles and not too big elevation.... but it was great relaxing weekend. We - Martin, Lakshan, Justin and I went to Desolation Wildneress to see two lakes - Lyons and Silvia Lake, both beautiful. For Lakshan and Justin it was their first backpacking trip, so we couldn't really destroy them....:-)
PHOTO

Tento vylet byl skutecne docela lenivy. Ani ne velka vzdalenost ani velke prevyseni... alespon to byl docela pohodovy vikend. Martin, Lakshan, Justin a ja jsme se vydali do Desolation Wildneress ke dvema jezerum - Lyons a Silvia, obe prekrasne. Pro Lakshana a Justina to byl jejich prvni backpack a tak jsme je nemohli znicit....
