Cool HELL HOLE Reservoir in Nor-Cal

Just a few friends, some Jeeps, and some kayaks on the lake last weekend.
...We went to...


Hah!
Seriously though... It is a scenic wheeling spot that takes you down a pretty gnarly trail to a beautiful lake with panoramic views
This was the trip to write home about




Morning greet...



Ninja shoes ready for action!



And we are off.
























Sara showing some flex



Ninja man



Oops



Pucker factor over



Holy Batmobile, This trail has some insanity moments!




Say cheese









Wait for me!



Love this view!!!



Dropping down into the pit










We are almost to the bottom! Blue mountains here I come


We made it!



Stay tuned for more

Cool Day 2

I'll let MBATF show camp and dinner hour... I set the camera down to cook and do some relaxing... Hard to multi task with a beer in one hand and tongs in the other.

Sunday Morning:

A little reminder of the night before:



Checking out the lake with our morning coffee:





Bear protection... never go camping without it!



A little hair of the dog



uh oh... some one parked themselves into a pickle ... I think we need to call AAA



Since Sean had to leave out of town at 4AM Monday, we left the group and dared to head out alone.... We figured if something went haywire, The group would find us along the way









We made it through the biggest obstacle- no problem

Back at the top!





Sean was pretty relieved that we made it up without any issues



Back to civilization... This is a view of where we were. It is just down the road from my house





Well, this is my contribution... I had a great time guys... Lets do it again!

Your turn Mike, David and Tim

Great trip guys!!! We were there on the lake in my boat fishing. We went by the back probably too early in the morning to look for you all. Looks like I missed a great one.....
