rock creek

i spent this past weekend camping at rock creek in the eastern sierras with my family. we camped for two nights at the east fork campground, which was beautiful.  the leaves were changing color, a sign that fall may actually be coming to california.   and it was cold - really, really cold!  we rented a trailer from adventure in camping, mostly because setting up a tent and outdoor kitchen is a lot of work for only two nights.  but my favorite part was the heater!  i'm sure i would have froze to death without it!  

we hiked, did some fishing (more like casting...) and just enjoyed the beautiful scenery:

rock creek is about 24 miles north of bishop, where the famous erick schat's bakery is.  if you are passing through (or visiting) bishop you MUST stop here and get some kind of baked good - the original sheepherder bread is amazing.  so was the pumpkin filled doughnut.  yes, pumpkin filled!  rock creek is now on my list of favorite camping spots, i can't wait to go back next year!  

do you like camping?  whats your favorite spot to camp?

p.s. being up in the sierras really makes me want to hike mt. whitney again!!
