Decided to take the Kern's to Bear Valley and show them my secret spot. This was Cooper's first trip and he had a blast. I'm glad Brody was along, but unfortunately I didn't get the one on one time I wanted for his first trip.

Another attempt at a wood burning stove.
Metal grate was a good idea, but it melted eventually. |

Yes that really is a cast iron dutch oven that Rachel

| No fear, got a fly and tippet. |

| I'm glad Greer is not afraid of snakes. |
 |
| Not pretty, but functional. Still using the shorts today. |
 |
| Yum fish. |
 |
| I couldn't drag Greer away from this spot. |
 |
| Yep,, Greer is still fishing. |
