A Day of Exploring the West Warner Mountains and an Eagle

Saturday September 28, 2024 Warner Mountains CA.

We put our traps out last night. Didn’t do well, only caught about four of them. They just didn’t’ seem to want to get in our traps.traps1

We broke camp and started out on our adventure for the day. We decided to take a back road to where we were headed today. The first place we ended up was at this little lake on a dead end road.lake2

To get back out from that lake we put in our four wheel drive hubs as the road was steep going back out.hubs3

When we made it back to the main road, I made a wrong turn and to my surprise we ended back at last  nights camp spot. That’s exploring.vans4

We stopped here for a short break and to check the map.water5

We headed up this road that soon turned to real rocky for quite a few miles.road6

The road started to get worse the further we went on it.road7

It got rockier as we went to where we were going in four wheel drive lowest gear and going as slow as we could go as it was real bumpy.rocks8

We finally started to get out of the rocky part, but then we got into the brush.road9

This is why the vans don’t have nice paint jobs.  We plowed on through making lots of noise as the brush scrapped on the van’s sides.brush10

At last, we got back to the main road and scooted right along.road12

We needed a break and found this spot to pull into off the road and decided we’d had enough for the day and decided to camp here.camp13

We were sitting here when Marty says to look behind me.camp14

This young eagle had landed just over our heads and stayed there for awhile.eagle13

We had a good day and will continue our exploration tomorrow.
