We were home about 3 days before we turned around and headed back out the door for more camping. This time it was with the Estill Family, a first for us since we have had kids. We went to Balch Park by the Sequoias. It was very beautiful there too! Here we actually did have encounters with Bears. There was a fire burning in Tehachapi and Lake Isabella which had driven more bears than usual to the area. The rangers there didn't thing it was that big of a deal and so far, they hadn't had any problems. The bears left everyones food alone and we didn't even have bear boxes or anything! BUT they did rummage though the trash cans every night! It was crazy to wake up in the middle of the night and hear the bears and know that they were only 100 feet or so away from you!! In all of my camping experiences I have yet to run face-to-face into a bear, and I intend to keep it that way!!
Katherine didn't actually catch these fish, but she wanted to pose with them. Madelynn caught one of those fish. She came back to camp before they got cleaned and was therefore very shocked and sad when she saw it on the frying pan....she cried!
The big trees were so awesome!!
