Sequoia Park Camp-out [page 3]
The garbage collection folks woke about half the camp-ground Saturday morning. I had coffee, scrambled eggs, and left-over beef franks for breakfast. Tom made french toast. It looked good. I might consider the same for next year. After breakfast it was time to ride.
I'd never been to the top of Mineral King, a somewhat recent addition (1978) to the park. I headed back toward Three Rivers where I picked up the 30 mile dead end road to Mineral King. It's about a 90 minute ride to the top with a stop or three to take some pictures. The road is mainly paved with two sections of dust over either old roadway or very hard packed dirt. The only other bikes I saw were a pair of Harleys. Here are the pictures I took on the way to the end of the road.
About 3 or 4 miles from the end of the road is the Silver City resort area. On the way back I stopped there where the restaurant has maybe 5 things on the menu. That's 5 more than I expected. An ice tea and a quesadilla later I was ready to get back to the camp site.
