Pickel Meadow - West Walker River / Wolf Creek area (near the Marine Corp Mountain Warfare Training Center)


Pickel Meadow pool, caught a nice Trout right before I banged up my knees climbing up to the highway!


We fished around the bridge at the West Walker River, I got skunked while everyone else caught decent number of Trouts.


upstream on the West Walker River


Afterward, I drowned my fishing sadness with this large dipped ice cream at Jolly Kone in Bridgeport.


We had dinner at Roberto's in Mammoth


Their Burritos were huge!!


Day Four - Lee Vining below the Tioga Pass


I did much better on this day! The Trouts were BIG!


On this day I rewarded myself with another dipped ice cream (this time at Mono Cones in Lee Vining)


I had to clean alot of Trout!


We went to Burger's Restaurant in Mammoth. It was yummy!


I had a pint at the local Irish Pub in Mammoth after dinner; that was yummy too!


Day Five - After packing and checking out of our rental, we shopped at the Mammoth Villager.


There was one Trout there that I had no chance to catch!


on the way back to LA, we stopped off at Schat's Bakkery for Sheepherder Bread!


We spent two hours back at the secret Spillway spot to get our fishing done before going back on the road. Eugene and I both caught three more Trouts each. His were much bigger than mine!

It was a great fishing trip!!

Epic Church - Naked

SERIES: THE GENESIS EFFECT: How We Got Here From There
MESSAGE: NAKED
TEXT: Genesis 2:18-25
SYNOPSIS: As we discovered thus far in our series, we were created for relationship. God is foremost relational, and so he made us in his image the same way. This imago dei of humanity is expressed as co-humanity, male and female, male or female. It follows then that sexuality is at the core of what it means to be human, not subsequent to it. But sexuality is more than what two people experience as physical pleasure. It involves all the ways we try to connect - with the world, with others, with God. To be naked, then, is not simply to strip down to our underwear with another, but to peel back the layers of our souls. It's the ability, whether married or single, to relate deeply with others because we are at peace with ourselves. This is sexy.
