This past weekend we had nothing to do and decided that with such nice weather we should head out on an adventure. We picked the town of Kernville in the the southern end of Sequoia national forest. It's where the Kern river spits out into a reservoir, and during the spring it is a white water mecca. During the winter it's not really a mecca for anything but that's fine with us. We had a few destinations in mind. On the way up we stopped at a classic desert outpost known and Robbers Roost.

Yep. CLOSED!!! It didn't say anything about that ANYWHERE! Until we got to the empty parking lot. (which also didn't say anything on any of the signs.) and I walked up to find a locked gate. 2 hour drive and this is the first anyone bothers to tell us?
So, we went back into town. There is a park right along the river that is full of fishermen and has some playground equipment.
The water level was really really low so we walked down to the river and watched some ducks. This might've been the first time our kids had been up close and personal with a river. They were entranced. Then we walked into town where they had a Christmas theme set up in the center square.
But, Santa wasn't there yet. We ate lunch, grabbed some Ice cream and set out back on the road home. The drive was really beautiful. It was still a good day. It's always nice to get out of town for a bit.
Till next time,

I like that you go on all these adventures. Yall are lookin fit and I'm liking your hair/beard combo as it is right now.
Yikes to your third and fourth photos! Looks like you had a great day. Family adventures are fun and keep your family close.
I was going to say the exact same things that Candice did, except not is such flashy language.
Too bad the trip didn't live up to your wildest dreams. You guys are looking fit and I also like your hair and beard combo.
Looks like a fun trip in spite of your government dollars efficiently hard at work at the fish hatchery.
The new sunglasses are also a nice addition to the look.
It's always so fun to get out and see the things around you.
Kernville has world-class mountain biking. The trail is called "just outstanding" because it's apparently...outstanding. I wish I could savor some sweet mountain air like that.
