Randomly decided yesterday that i was going to go for a small solo excursion today. The Wife needed some time to take care of some things without having to take care of the little one so off We went. My friend Dave (Uncle Dave to Chloe) came along also.
Jawbone to Isabella is a 55 mile trip that starts out at 2500 feet in the desert and climbs to 8200 feet in the Sequoia National Forest. An easy trail overall. I figured there would be a little snow in the higher elevations, boy was i wrong. About 30 miles of the trail was snow covered. Sometimes it was just a hard packed icy covering, sometimes it was a foot deep. It was a bit challenging at times. Good trip though. Took right about 4 hours to complete the trail. Of course i took a crap ton of pics, so here they are.
