My goal for the day was to find the easiest route to hike down to the Stanislaus river so I can take some unique images of this amazing body of water on a beautiful winter day. Nothing too outrageous but a challange that I was willing and ready to take on. I had the key components for what I needed, My Lowpro hip bag, packed with all my equipment, a backpack with snacks and extra storage, and finally my reliable sturdy heavy (did I emphasis HEAVY) tripod.
The views were spectacular, I stopped at various points to photograph the snow covered landscape. To hike in the back country with only my GPS as guidance and trekking through on marked snow was such an incredible feeling. Unfortunately I under estimated the amount of work it would take to hike through un-trecked powder, and over estimated my state of athleticism. After making some calculations on my GPS, I realized that I only had 30 minutes left to the river however hiking out back to the truck would be the challenge and based on the light of day and how tiring it was up to this point. I decided to turn around so I Never made it to the river, and quite frankly was ecstatic to make it back to the truck. (personal note: not to bring my heavy tripod for such a hike EVER again!)
