Tahoe and Lone Pine

The first stop on our trip was Sorenson's Resort in Hope Valley, CA, about 20 miles south of South Tahoe. We stayed in a little log cabin without cell or wifi reception, but there was a wood stove to play with :)  We went on a couple hikes, and got a little fly fishing and unicycling in.

The fishing season for rivers didn't open for another week, but I was able to get some casting practice in at Caples lake

Caples lake. Can you spot the unicycle??

Saturday, 4/18, we drove down 395 to Lone Pine, CA, at the base of Mt Whitney. We drove through the Alabama Hills, famous for being the filming location of numerous old westerns, then drove up Whitney Portal road to the base of trail going up Mt Whitney.
