How was your experience getting out to and back from Tuweep? Did you get much of the rain and storms over the weekend?
A few sprinkles, nothing significant. Most of the drive out to Tuweep was nice gravel roads, but the last few miles are a bit more technical. This is probably the first time I’ve put any of my suspension mods or the big chunky tires to real use.

Driftless country rocks!
Weather got bad. We came home a week early. Weather was so bad they cancelled our Lake Michigan ferry ride from Milwaukee to Muskegon. Horrible trip due to weather. Did use a day to do the Taliesen tour and Frank Lloyd Wright Museum near Spring Green. That was good day!

After a long day of hiking and fishing the Kern river, creeks and Lake isabella i headed over to the 395 side to sleep close to the trailhead I planned to hike the next morning. This spot was great but the mosquitos were relentless so I moved a bit further from the river.

Still a couple vampires here but it was pretty perfect and manageable with a bit of bug spray. I pulled up just in time to soak my feet while having dinner after a long day of hiking. Listening to the frogs and the water all night was magic.

Night 2 was supposed to be at an alpine lake accessible by a pretty rough 5 mile 4x4 trail, about 1/3 the way up a few jeeps let me know the trail was still snowed in at the top and impassable.

I turned around and was happy to save the effort and daylight and headed for a spot perched above some natural hot springs. Took a dip in the hot springs and the soak was amazing after a 8.5 mile 1500 ft gain hike. It was a cold one, my dogs water bowl froze overnight so im pretty happy we didn't end up sleeping at 10k elevation. In the morning i got in the truck cranked the heat and once I got enough dexterity in my fingers to break camp I packed it up and headed on my way.
