    Cottonwood Lakes, High Sierras

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    August 6-9

    Basecamp at Cottonwood Lakes trail head. We stayed there the first day to get acclimated to the elevation. They made fun of me for bringing a hammock. As you can see a couple of them used it to take a nap!! They changed thier minds, said it was really comfortable.

    Wish I could have taken up to the lakes but we were going above the treeline. Had to use a tent and sleeping bag.

    That is me in the third pic. One thing I realized is that I need a bottom quilt. It got down to about 30 degrees at night and I used a blanket on top but that cold came right thru the bottom of the hammock.

    Time to research quilts.
