Since I'm not fast, and cars have to be out of the Park by 5pm, we got an early start when they opened at 7. It was misty and quasi-raining on us until we got a good bit of the way past White Saddle toward Rincon OHV road.
DSC00318 by moore91024, on FlickrI was hoping the hard work would be over and the last leg on Rincon Rd would be mostly flat, which wasn't exactly true, but it all worked out. The sun was out (and welcome) for our eventual arrival at the camp.
DSC00323 by moore91024, on FlickrThis trip was perhaps more about the journey than the destination. Not a bad place to sit at a picnic table and have a snack before the return trip, but there is no water at all at the camp, and it would have cheered the place up a bit. There's a fallen tree on the outhouse. The most interesting thing to me was the abundance of wild orchids. I've seen these in small numbers in Big SAC and on the Mt Wilson trail, but at Spring there was truly a small field of them. Ladybugs swarming and crawling too, which I've seen mentioned in other Spring Camp trip reports.

They're purple like the ones in the background)I had, as they say, "an off" on the way down approaching White Saddle and still have some souvenir bruises, but luckily that's it. Back to the car by 3:20 so plenty of time to spare. Don't know that I'll ever be back! But pleased to have reached it.
