Another trip to the East Side. More specifically to Green Creek, north of Lee Vining, home of "high intensity, scenic drama" according to some books.
We camped in a sweet little spot along the creek. When sunrise rolled around I woke up to a loud slapping noise. In my delirium I thought it was either a really big fish jumping out of the water OR a bear trying to cross the river. Of course it was neither of these but when I opened my tent to investigate there was a beaver! In the river or course, swimming around and slapping his tail.
A hike up the canyon yielded the scenic drama. We had intended to make it to the Green Lake but ended up sleeping in a little too much and then needed to get back to Groveland for a concert at the Mountain Sage. The hike was cut short, just shy of the lake, but it was beautiful all the same.
