I settled into the routine of waking around 4:30, packing up with the headlamp, and rolling out a little after 6:30. Sounds crazy but it worked!
Loaded and ready to go!
After the steep climb out of Masonic I was rewarded with these expansive views of the Bodie Hills.
At last I got a view of the Sierra with Green Creek, my destination, the dark canyon in the center.
More color splash!
I flew down into Bridgeport and then down 395 a few miles to the Green Creek turnoff. The wide gravel road up was a little tedious but once I got up high and enjoyed the views I felt better.
The first glimpse of Green Creek. My first visit ever!
Dynamo Pond was formed by a dam built in the 1890s to supply water for the hydroelectric plant which provided electricity to Bodie.
I was impressed by the wide valley and abundant meadows.
Beaver pond.
Great fall colors too!
Green Creek at my camp. Took a refreshing dip here.
Camp.
The color looks like it was painted on the hillside!!
Glad I made it here to Green Creek!
