Just a small collection of photos from Labor day weekend. Met up with a group from the forums for some exploring :)

Camped the first night outside of Yosemite. Took some time to find a good spot off of the main road since we arrived in the area at about 11pm. Not really surprised that there were other vehicles in the same area camping out for the long weekend.


Mandatory morning coffee


Did a quick visit to Yosemite Valley then headed to Mono Lake to meet up with the group.

Our group out in the distance.


We also did some exploring and climbs some cool rocks




We then made our way to Bodie which was pretty cool.

Before getting there, we passed by an odd fellow who was walking on the side of the road with a stroller??


Living in the city, I forget that places like this still exist.








We then made out way to more trails and eventually camp.

Had some trouble along the way when a anchor bolt went straight through one our vehicles tires.


Our Jeep friend providing the essentials for when you blow out your tire.


That night we set up camp next to an abandoned mine. Woke up early the next day and figured it was a good opportunity for some photos.




Old mine shafts that we blocked off right on the hill above our camp.



After a quick breakfast we continued on for more trails

Stopped to check out the hot springs near Bridgeport. It was pretty crowded so we opted just to take a quick look around and continue on our way.












We went through a ton of tight trails. The RTT snagged a branch it decided to come along for the ride.


Another group shot by a random lake we found.


more exploring!


Taking in the scenery and atmosphere.




Getting those shots






somebody got stuck :p Fortunately, just a little winch tug and we were good to go.
