Ann and I spent three days and two nights backpacking and climbing in the domelands this weekend. We encountered many things: A young rattlesnake right under our feet, endless stands and varieties of flowers, a wade through a swampy beaver pond, a thrilling rock climb up Moon Dome (posted in Climbing), an accidental dunk in Trout Creek, and an intentional dunk in the South Fork Kern River, to mention a few. A weekend to be remembered for a long time to come.
