You got this, Kiet!

Love and miss ya, buddy.

I still have my toy. 

You sucking on a lollipop in that picture?

Love and miss the hell out of you, Cat Daddy.

It does. Too bad you had to snuff it. I've experienced them coming at me too. I get a long stick to pick them up and fling them away from my area. They're surprisingly easy to pick up.
Great views of Pillsbury!
You didn't see hunters, right? Deer season opens in B zone next Saturday, and that's only archery. I believe that area is B zone. Rifle season is about a month later.
You weren't worried about starting a fire?
Glad you enjoyed yourself!

I was more concerned about the crowds when I was planning on camping near Stonyford, which is on the border of A zone. There were only a few spots I wanted to camp at there and I didn't want to drive all the way out there and not get one of those spots.
I only saw a few other cars up above Hull Mountain the whole time.

Wasn't worried about my fire getting out of hand since it was in the middle of a gravelly area and it wasn't very windy. I also dug out the firepit really good and beefed up the sides of it.
I have a fire extinguisher within easy reach in the back of the Runner, too.

Gorgeous verms!

 

My site the next morning.

This spot would be perfect for a Wheel N Chill, although I imagine it gets pretty windy up there sometimes. It was beautiful the whole time I was up there. It was 100 degrees in the evening, but up where I was it was 70 something all night with a nice breeze.
