It's amazing how quickly 7 weeks went (even with an engine swap). We're ready to go again.

Just back today from a few days camping with my older son. He has his driver's permit, so this time I got to "relax" as the passenger for a lot of the trip 
The area is south of hwy 36 in northern california in the Trinity National Forest.
Bonus, a pair of radflo rear remote reservoir shocks arrived while we were away (close to 4 weeks from ordering them), so something fun to do tomorrow.
Anyhow, on with a few pics.
First stop at around 6000'. Beautiful weather. Tent is up and my son is getting things ready for cooking.
Couple of days later (after moving camp) we did a bit more exploring. Found a clearing and a helipad.
More exploring and an old forestry 'station'. Haven't seen anyone in a couple of days.
While camped at a small mountain lake a forestry vehicle/ranger drove in and we chatted a bit and he told us of another nice camp area with a reasonable creek. So, this morning before heading back we did a bit more exploring to locate it. His instructions were a little 'fuzzy' (he stated he didn't remember the forestry road/numbers ) but we found the place with the help of our GPS running some topo map software.
Was a great, though short trip. We've been in this area a few times, but we found several new places worth exploring and a nice place to camp next time.
cheers,
george.

Wife and I did Yellowstone and want to do Glacier next. Any tips on where to stay or must sees? We will likely fly out and rent a car. I like to fish and see country not just road cruise.
After that I think we will do Tahoe.
We did nw glacier to lake kintla, then going to sun road and many glacier area, then s glacier loop back up to going to sun road.
Stayed at lake five resort on lake five near west glacier. Nice spot and cabins on the lake.

Tahoe is beautiful as well...we usually stay around kings beach area.
