David Seibold > Camp Nelson #001 Mystery Solved! Yesterday, while visiting in-laws at Camp Nelson, California, we noticed that there was a trampled area in a flower bed that appeared to indicate some animal was bedding down or snoozing. This morning, I looked out the window to see a young mountain lion playing in a tub used for plants. I took too long to get the camera and missed the frolicking in the tub. As I stepped outside on the elevated deck, the mountain lion came sauntering into view and immediately began sizing me up. He did not appear to be afraid, so, I was able to get a few shots before he went out of sight again. He appeared to be about three feet long not counting the tail. He next appeared on the hill adjacent to the deck which put him at deck level and an easy leap onto the deck. I had a hand on the camera and a hand on the door knob. He wasn't interested in me and wandered on up the hill. The area we are at is about 4500 ft in elevation. Mountain Lion cub, Camp Nelson, Tulare County, California

David Seibold > Camp Nelson #003 Running Waters The Tule River varies in size during the year depending on rain and snowfall. Regardless of size, the river is very pretty in the Camp Nelson area. Tule River, Camp Nelson, Tulare County, California
David Seibold > Camp Nelson #004 Wet and Mossy The Tule River is one of the smallest rivers in California. The river originates among high rugged granite peaks including Dennison Peak, Moses Mountain, Maggie Mountain, Jordan Peak, Slate Mountain, Black Mountain, Mule Peak, and Parker Peak. The Tule descends as much as 1,000 for every mile and altogether drops more than 9,000 feet. The river flows past several groves of giant sequoia.. The largest known giant sequoia in the Tule River Watershed is the Stagg Tree, the 6th largest tree on Earth. This tree grows in the Alder Creek Grove on the flanks of Jordan Peak.

David Seibold > Camp Nelson #005 Refreshing Shari Seibold and I had a little cooler weather the last time we visited Camp Nelson. 80º F at 4500 feet versus the 90º F in the San Joaquin Valley. The Tule River was still flowing at a low level. The sound of the water trickling over the rocks, the wind in the trees and the smell of the mountains was refreshing.

David Seibold > Camp Nelson #009 Abandoned My brother-in-law and I took a little drive in the Camp Nelson, California area and ran into a tree.
