From Joseph Ringer’s Journals: “June 9, 1945. Herb took us up to Hope Valley Calif to camp out there for the 1st time. It was cold so we all sleeped in the car & when we got up in the morning there was ice in one of are pots of water.
It was 22 degrees. We had a dinner and supper there
went up as far as the lake in the mtns.
Where we sleeped it was over 7000 feet. Made 146 miles on this trip. It was a fine day in the afternoon it got up to 82 degrees.”
