One
final photograph of the guys before they started down the creek and we headed
back to camp. |

The next day we headed out for Devil's Punchbowl. Not surprisingly there are several lakes named Devil's Punchbowl around the world. Just for clarification, we are going to this one, not that one, or any of the other ones. Ok, ok, you're all dying to know why Dave is wearing a handkerchief and bright orange hat- I just know it. Dave forgot his brimmed hat in L.A. and this was all he had in his truck. Backpacking is all about improvising and overcoming... |

The trail up to Devil's Punchbowl is a steep series of switchbacks up Bear Mountain and is described as "a long forbidding butt-kicker." When you finally top the ridge, the route crosses Devil's Creek. This is a very easy crossing in August, but I wonder how it looks in the spring. |
