If you’re heading into the Eastern Sierra this 4th of July weekend and plan on doing some fishing, you may want to head to Twin Lakes outside of Bridgeport. Looks like the fishing is great right now.

My brother Brian, his wife Panda, my cousin Norm, his girlfriend Linda, and my Mom went up there yesterday and just killed the trout. They all caught their limit. Brian and Panda alone had two 4 pounders and two 3 pounders. All in all the family caught 30 pounds of trout!!

The picture is of Brian and Panda with their 20 pound combined stringers. Looks like this was another memorable day for the Bourelle family at Twin Lakes. There’s been many such days in the past. I sure hope there are many more in the future.

I wonder if Dad had anything to do with all these fish being caught?

It’s about the history of maps in Yosemite and how the maps have been used over the years.  Film maker Ken Burns is in the video and talks about the importance of maps in Yosemite. There is also a search for one of the original park boundary markers from the 1800’s. The film runs about 10 minutes and is worth checking out.
