I got off to a late start going camping and off-roading this year, but I fully intend to get my seasonal trips up to par. So Friday, July 18, I met a friend in North Fork and we headed for higher ground. The plan was to go to Mammoth Pool Reservoir and then camp and explore other nearby areas over the course of the weekend.
That first afternoon, we decided to head to Little Jackass Campground and that would put us withing good striking range of Mammoth Pool either that afternoon or the following morning.
We arrived at the campground about 1:30 p.m. to find it was full; there are only five sites there anyway. But as we were about to take off, a couple drove out and stopped to let us know they were leaving. We set up minimal stuff to secure the site and then headed out Forest Road 6S22, which turned out to be a great trek to start the weekend. Here are scenes from the
Little Jackass area and 6S22.
The next morning, we broke camp and headed out for Mammoth Pool Reservoir. I have admired it from the highway above several times, but never actually went to the reservoir. Here are scenes from
Mammoth Pool Reservoir.
As expected, we began climbing higher and the views got better and better.
