Kennedy Lake Dayhike
Well, I had much grander plans for today's outing- my intention was to climb Kennedy Peak and Molo Mountian but I eneded up just doing a ~15 mile out-and-back day hike to Kennedy Lake. I wasn't feeling very well (seem to have developed a bit of a head cold) and the smoke from nearby fires reduced the visibility to the point where the climb didn't seem worth the effort.
Trailhead parking lot, curiously not a the trailhead itself. (Trailhead is on private land about 3/4 mile away). Could have saved a bit of hiking.

Kennedy Meadows shortly after the trailhead. Number of people fishing in the middle fork of the Stanislaus River, which ran along the far side of the clearing.
