Booth Lake
Yosemite National Park
My first overnite backpack trip with Paco, June 1985

Here is our camp on first day. Note the old backpack that my dad gave to me. It was his going away present at his retirement for LA County Dept. of Water and Power. He used it once...but is now only a day-hiker.


Paco at our wilderness
campsite - we found an
existing fire hearth
End point of first day. We went over the wrong pass (snow covered trail), so didn't see Booth Lake until the next day on way back. We took 2 days to return.

End of day 2. Frank's shoes were wet, so here he is drying them off. We saw the first backpackers going uphill shortly before this picture. They were seeking the Vogelhang camp, which we never visited. We did stop by Booth Lake earlier this day.


After the hike, we went down to the valley. Here is Paco under Yosemite Falls.


Returning from Yosemite, we stopped at Hot Creek.


Then we also stopped at Keough Hot Springs.
