What a perfectly pleasant and enjoyable trip to the lakes near Bishop. Love the go-with-the-flow vibe - you make a really heart-warming couple to watch!
Thanks for sharing! 7 years ago I camped at French Camp & hiked up Mesquito Flats Trail (from the campground) to Ruby Lake! This takes me down memory lane. I miss that experience - most beautiful hike ever - so grateful you posted!
It sucks to find all campsites full...I think thats a big motivator for people to buy a rooftop tent or a truck camper or a tear drop trailer to boondock.
Bro when campsites are “full” anywhere along 395, you just make your own “remote” campsite. Been doing it that way for 30+ years. Just leave no trace when you pack up. There’s endless places to “hide” along the west side of 395 and some hidden gems along the east side of 395. LA city property won’t let you overnight. But BLM will. Forrest property won’t swear you for an over nighter. Just blend it deep and you’re set.
Very nicely done! I hiked to Ruby Lake many years ago, awesome! I’m in the area right now for some leaf peeping. BTW... I love the way you snapped your fingers and the tent sprang right up! 🤣. I can’t believe you dove into that lake full body! Did you regret it? 🙈

Fun little trip I really enjoyed the video thanks - makes me want to go back it’s been so long since I’ve been camping up there I miss it!
It's a great hidden gem in the Eastern Sierras
This is an awesome video you guys are a great couple. I love that area with all my heart.
Thank you for your kind words!

Thanks so much. Kelly was actually born in Bishop so that place is really special to both of us!

Thanks for watching! It certainly is a gorgeous home, we loved it!
Stayed at French Camp many times..When others were full. Plus close down to other great locations.
awesome spot!
It's one of the prettiest hikes we've ever been on!
Great video! How long did it take you to get to Ruby Lake? Thanks!
It took a couple of hours, it's just over 4 miles to the lake. It's a high altitude though, so it was slow going! But totally worth it
The Awkward Tourist awesome! Thanks for the info! Take care!
If you start from mosquito trailhead it's a great 1 and hafe jaunt.

That water was so cold!
I told you but you didn't believe me...
Just what I needed today! I've made that trip many times myself-never all the way up to Ruby! Thanks! Mc
What time of the year did you go?
In June
Was that Gem lake? Just came back from rock creek and I absolutely loved the hike!
Isn't it so gorgeous?? The lake we hiked to was Ruby Lake, I guess there are more lakes up there with gem names
Did you guys get altitude sickness at all?
We didn't have any issues

Yeah, we have done the BLM camping before, but we wanted access to a shower and toilet this time

It was cold but I don't think you can ever regret taking a quick swim in such a gorgeous spot!
