Lukas’s idea of camping is staying the night in the backyard and watching DVD’s on the Laptop! Maybe next year we will venture further from home.

On October 12th, we went on a day trip Starved Rock, IL to do a little hiking and enjoy a warm fall day. Having been away from the west coast for a few years, we have not really done much in the likes of hiking and it was nice to come across this place. Check out our Flickr gallery from the trip.

Over the holiday break, I decided to go through some of my old photos and do some photo management. I came across this one from a camping trip Rada and I took in July of 2005. Convict Lake is one of the easiest accessible beauties of the Sierra Nevada’s.  Its location is to the left on Highway 395 heading North towards Mammoth Lakes.

Wikipedia has the following to say about Convict Lake:

The lake was named after an incident in 1871, where a group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City. A posse, led by Sheriff Robert Morrison, encountered the convicts near the head of what is now Convict Creek. Morrison was killed in the encounter, and Mount Morrison was named after him [1].

In 1951, a film titled The Secret of Convict Lake was released with the location as the film’s setting based on the events in (1871) starring Glenn Ford and Gene Tierney.According to the narrative included with the movie “How the West Was Won”, Convict Lake was in the opening scenes. It was also used in Star Trek Insurrection, and in an advertisement for Nature Valley granola bars in 2007.
