Fall Is Here

Fall has arrived up at camp and is quickly leaving, I almost missed my chance to take pictures of some the trees by the staff houses.





Jonah and I took a long hike on one of days off to Nelder Basin.  We took a detour to go on the Shadow of the Giants trail to look for fall Dogwoods but it was a tiny bit too early for them.

We did find some interesting mushrooms



There were a few Dogwoods that were changing color.

 In Nelder Basin there are a lot of Giant Sequoias, we had fun spotting all of them and marveling at just how huge they are! We explored for a while, made a fire, ate our lunch and roasted apple slices over our fire (really yummy!). We hiked back to camp and then headed to Fresno to do some shopping and had some delicious pizza at the California Pizza Kitchen. 

And just in case you were wondering how Monty and Posy are doing in the mountains? Well they love it!  Posy even caught her first mouse the other day, we were so proud.
