This weekend we went up to Lake Isabella and the Kern River to fish and to visit my grandma who lives in the area. Samson of course came along :)

Fishing wasn't that great, I didn't fish because I forgot to get my license before we left home :( but between the 3 boys only Dave caught any and he only caught 2 trout.

It was cold because they got the same storm up there that we got here in so cal, my grandma said it was snowing during the day on Friday but it wasn't cold enough for it to stick around once it hit the ground. It was in the mid/lower 50's on Saturday, yesterday mid/lower 60's and then this week it was supposed to be warming up to the 70's. Hopefully there isn't a storm memorial day weekend and you get blessed with mild weather :) By the way, again totally disgusted with the way people having been trashing the river, we seriously had to hunt for a spot without broken glass so Samson wouldn't get stabbed while walking around :nonono: :angry2:

I never noticed Samson has a big saddle on his bum! So fitting his namesake has one too! He takes beautiful photos, it sure looked lovely even in cold weather.

I know it is just getting so bad up there isnt it? SAD! At least it shouldnt have been crowded I hope anyhow? I know they stopped stocking the Kern with trout a few years ago cuz hubby gets frustrated when he goes. Says fishing is :poo: there now, at least on the river. Figure it trickles down so doesnt surprise me. Sad tho cuz they are going to lose their only decent business. All that will be left there are the "crowds" that are partying and destroying it all instead of real nature people who just want to catch some trout. Every year he says he isnt going down the hill the next trip but he still does in hopes of.... We will see if he gets a license this year or not. That view from your Grams house IS amazing tho! WOW!

What great pictures! Looks like a day full of fun! :up:

My Mom used to take us to the Kern River for camping when we were kids. There used to be a rock called "alligator rock." Do you know that one?

I dont, but we dont usually camp there so much as drive down the hill for an afternoon of fishing. Funny, we actually camp in the sierras right above the Kern river and most dont even know it is up there. Ahhhh seclusion! Cant wait for camping season! I think @tessandsamson has camped down there much more often than us so maybe she does.
