This trip was probably the most impressive, demanding and worthwhile of my life. Starting a hike early in the morning with a 90pound kayak, due to having to carry camping gear and food for three days, and covering the 11miles along Kibbie Ridge in 8hours to finally arrive at Lord Meadow Lake. From there, we would kayak two full on days back to civilization.

Get your ghetto rig out
Kayaks are so photogenic
We even had Jesus (dan) with us
The granite was amazing but hot to walk on in the final two miles
Absolutely amazing
Camp for night one, never camp here the Mozzys are horrible
Peter and I tried to hide from the Mozzys on dusk by hiking.
My amazing mexican hat... people in Groveland didnt recognize me without it
Tight granite... loving it
Making sure I get right and away from the cave
Some nice tea cups in the first gorge

The team Me, Dan, Tom and Peter. We didnt get a lot of photos as we had no idea how long each day was going to take but you can still get an idea of how amazing it was in there. Best trip of our lives... hands down... tits up... flip it down.
