Saturday August 10, 1991 Up over the Pass–by way of Dan and Sally’s place in Murpheys–and south on 395 to search for three hours for Buckeye hot spring with a map and vague directions, half a mile up two forks in each direction with no trace of a spring. Raging currents and fallen trees, and a dead sheep carcass with a face-I broke my camera photographing the riots at People’s Park, so I borrowed Sandra’s Ricoh, which had a little voice that would say “Too Dahk” or “No Firm” in a cute Japanese accent.
Sunday August 11, Buckeye Campground, east of Bridgeport. There were parts of an old lumber operation all around the area. Seems the spring was DOWN stream, possibly underwater. 
Short stop in Palmdale for beer and tv-bonding and birthday party with Marty, then Venice Beach, and L.A. County Museum, Universal Studios tour with the nieces and nephews.
8/19 Lake Thomas Edison campground, generators running 7 AM to 10 PM. on a 15? mile hike up the canyon, Beautiful black sand beaches and deep mountain pools with stranded trout, still too smart to bite. Yellow neck Marmots and a large Hawk overhead.
8/20 Tuesday Mono Creek overflow camp, Big Dipper through the pines. Rowdy neighbors, singing with a good “Joplinesque” voice.
Bodie shack tiled with flattened cans
Wednesday, Steve’s birthday, visit Bodie and heading home.
