About 20 of altogether on the California side of Lake Tahoe. We hiked up to Immigrant Pass which is probably near where you were communing with nature. We overnighted near a lake, which was likely clean, but I used my water filter system anyway. We commanders gave permission to everyone to wear their own hiking boots, not military boots. That avoided most foot problems. The campsite was at about 7500 feet, in the morning we had ice on the tent from our breathing moisture condensing inside the tent.<br /><br />We did some military oriented training, the evening of our arrival, then some in the morning.<br /><br />Then hiked back to the trail head.<br /><br />Good fun and good training.Pat H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18297461069687246149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-87710916722620786572018-08-09T11:30:34.699-07:002018-08-09T11:30:34.699-07:00Good on ya,glad you ejoyed yourself.

In my case, I was wondering if you'd "pulled a Weaponsman". Good to know you haven't. Speaking of that, the plane building continues apace, though it's been moved out of the WM basement and garage to a hangar at a nearby airport.<br /><br />Agree re Tahoe and the like. California is simply too beautiful to abandon to the progs. Though I'd rather give away Los Angeles County than the Bay Area if we were going to excise some of the rot.Mike_Cnoreply@blogger.com
