These are the official/ unofficial photos from our scouting mission for the upcoming Southern Sierras BFRO trip. Place names have been edited from some of the photos to help preserve the integrity of the expedition. This is know as "Joker Control" or "Yahoo Reduction." Please enjoy at your leisure. If you are, in fact aware of our target area destination, please refrain from sharing it with anyone and help preserve the integrity of our upcoming and future research. Thanks everyone!
Get Up early and get some before everyone else does. Weather in the foothills
A short walk from camp provides views of nearby creek drainages with plenty of photo opportunities.
Yes, we really are pretty insignificant when compared to 2,000+ year old Sequoias. This is the road to and from camp.
Target trail. There are quite a few spots to investigate on this 2 mile loop trail. Expect to cover this location on at least one of the nights. There's a BFRO report from this immediate vicinity.
One of many waterways in the area. This lake is quite popular, but if time permits, we may be able to target one of the more isolated lakes near here.
Fertile farmland on the road in (or out depending on your schedule and destination.)
Nearby formations in the Kern River Drainage. There are several sighting reports from this immediate area. A friend of mine recently had his camp raided by a momma Black Bear and two cubs. Prime habitat for sasquatch combined with a high number of yahoos using the river as a recreation sight combine to create a virtual movie theater for B.F. to investigate observe human activities.
The approach to the target are is breathtaking in the right conditions. Early morning and late afternoon are best for "ooh's and ahh's"
Be prepared for unexpected weather!
Again, beauty abounds. Get a wide angle lens if your really want to capture the view in a two dimensional format. Has anyone invented a 3D camera yet?...
Just another little surprise along the trail. Any botanists in the group?
A typical Tule River scene of serenity. Don't forget your rig and creel. There's trout in them' thar' waters.
Time for a cool bath
