A short vacation to the land of the steep

Dad (Mike), Ali, and I all went up to Bishop on Friday and camped until Sunday while fishing, exploring, and soaking in the scenery. We camped at the foot of Mt. Tom, an impressive peak which APPEARS to stand independent of the rest of the range, and which is nearly 14,000 ft. tall. In fact the peak is attached by a ridge, which would make approaching from the west a possible future hike! It rained Friday night while snowing down to 7,000 ft. which made for a beautiful sunrise on Saturday morning with a clear blue sky.

We caught lots of fish. Let me re-phrase. Dad caught tons of fish, I caught some fish, and Ali helped me catch three fish. It is interesting that we can go to a spot which has been fished three times over in one day, and we even saw people fishing in that spot- And yet we were still able to pull out beautiful fish from that spot! I guess being trained by one of the "Eastern Sierra's Best" (in his own words), it is hard to not catch fish.
