I love this shop…read more It has racks and racks and shelves and shelves of outdoors gear and clothing for all of your outdoorsy adventures. I can just dive into this place and find something cool, whether I've been looking for it, or not! This visit, I did not have much time available for a "deep dive", but still found a couple of pairs of pants for winter snowshoeing this season for a great price. ( Yes, there is a dressing room for making sure something fits.) The staff working here are helpful and knowledgeable. This place has a lot of consignment stock, so you never know what you'll find. For all of the gear heads who need to thin out your gear closets, this is a place to find new homes for your gently used gear. I wish it were closer to where I live.

Plus he idolizes the old cowboy movie stars. Hay, who doesn't ! I don't care about his politics . I just wanted to pick up some things for my camping trip. High prices on everything. I thought the store was open to the public so I went in and spent over $150 in about ten minutes. I received so much hatred and seething rage toward me from the guy owner there, for...,? Why I don't know. I don't know the guy and he doesn't know me. I was polite and maybe a little too friendly. That's just my way of enjoying things I do. Should I care if he despises me for some unknown assumptions on his part? No. Whatever! But I won't spend any more money there. I paid with my bank card and he turned his back to me to process my card. I could not see what he was doing the entire time. I hate that. So when a week later I needed a new bank card for a different reason, I felt like I was killing 2 birds with one stone and breathed a sigh of relief.

Not going to lie, this hike unexpectedly really beat me up. I intended to do the entire loop but…read morewas just so exhausted/overwhelmed when I woke up that I ended up turning back, although I took a different way back. I only made it to Lake 3 but to be fair, it started heavily pouring with intermittent thunder and lightning. The elevation gain destroyed me with my 20+ pound backpack, but I eventually made it to Lake 3 where I joined 2 other girls who basically adopted my clueless self. It is beautiful but perhaps would have been better without the cloudy skies. Overall, I would do this trip again but with more training!!

The Cottonwood Lakes are a series of 5 lakes in the high Eastern Sierra Nevada at about 11,000'…read moreelevation where you can catch California golden trout. This is a great place to camp out if you are looking for a place to acclimate before doing a high altitude hike such as Whitney. For convenience, you can just camp out at the trailhead which is at 10,000'. It takes about an hour to get from the Cottonwood Lakes Trailhead to the Whitney Portal. I arrived here on July 3rd in the afternoon and spent one night and the following day fishing and hiking the area as a warmup to Whitney, which I was hiking on July 5th. Ultimately, I did not have any altitude sickness issues beyond a very mild headache which I could treat with ibuprofen. From the Cottonwood Lakes Trailhead, the Cottonwood Lakes are about 5.5 miles away, so 11 miles roundtrip. Cottonwood Lake #3 is the largest of the five, and I ended up catching all my trout here. However, I didn't spend much time, if any, at the other lakes due to time constraints. I caught 4 trout in about an hour and a half. It's a very beautiful area, with large open meadows and lots of wildlife. I saw a deer and a pair of coyote while hiking to the lakes. There are also hordes of mosquitos so be sure to bring powerful mosquito repellant. Cottonwood Lakes can also be the midpoint in a hike to Mt. Langley, but that's another review.
