June Lake

My dad was taking a vacation up at June lake and this weekend is my weekend off. Fri-Mon. So I came up to join him. Should be good fun.

We found out that the annual fireman's BBQ is Saturday. How convenient!

No one really "discovers" a lake. But you got my curiousity up. No one seems to know where the name of June came from. But theory is that June was the month when snow level typically allowed one to travel into the area.

Wiki has a nice article on the loop area. But doesn't mention the origin of the name.

Be sure to try the grub at the Tiger Bar if you go there.

Not suprising. Saturday night, middle of tourist season, not much else to choose from.

Which is true of most every lake in that area, so it doesn't really explain much, does it?

Well, someone had to name it June Lake. It is interesting that there is no info on it, sort of like that mega phone thing out in the middle of the desert that nobody knows about.

The trip was a success. Porter was the subject of most of my photos, just because I wanted to have a subject I suppose. Dad and I had a grand time fishing on the lake and in dead man creek. I caught 3 in the stream, goose egg on the lake. Dad had one in the stream (so he says... no witnesses)
