Fish Creek near Rodeo Flats (Saw one 6" trout)
Camp for the week complete with guard dog (Honorary Title)	Front yard at about 7,300' looking north   (About a 400 to 600' ridge with Dead Horse Meadow beyond it)
The area was very dry already due to less than normal snowfall for the winter. The gates at the Blackrock Work Center intersection were still locked and the rockslides covering half the road in places above Kennedy Meadows hadn't been removed. I saw no signs of Forest Service personnel, probably due to Corona Virus shut down. Hardly anyone around during the week days but lots of people driving around and doing day use on the weekend.
Found a couple small snow banks for Mya on the Beach Meadow dirt bike trail at about 8,100'. We had to hike beyond the locked gates to find them and they were probably gone by the time we left to go home.
Old mine workings. (Lamont Pinnacles if far distance)	South Fork Kern River
I had never seen anyone set up a camp right next to the river at the Kennedy Meadows bridge before. It is usually a common use area. The Winnebago trailer reminded me of when I was at the Brown Bear Roadhouse in Glenn Allen Alaska the police scanner came on about a Winnebago with Minnesota plates fishing the fish hatchery. Some people.
