Packed in to little creek spring. Weather was perfected. day hikes to granite peak then into turkey creek. Next day went into McKenna Park. Thought about going all the way to White creek cabin, but too much dead fall and uphill.Little creek was a great campsite.

Was windy one day and as we approached a cluster of small oak trees a black bear leaped up about 10 feet away and we both stared at each there for a nanosecond. He obvously was napping and did not hear or smell us coming. Then he took off at a full run, crashing through the brush. I learned several things in that nanosecond. First if he charged instead of running there is no way you could get a gun out fast enough to shoot him. My camera was close by and I couldn't even get a picture off. Secondly there is no way to do anything you read in the textbooks other than crap yourself and hope you taste bad.
