This was the first weekend since at least Christmas, maybe Thanksgiving, that we did not plan a long overnight trip somewhere. It was really nice, we decided to have a picnic in the mountains on Saturday. We were headed for the Whitney Portals, but decided to go to Kennedy Meadows on the way (shorter trip). We first drove to Chimney Creek (I think) campgrounds and ate our lunch and found some pine cones

and then we drove on up to Kennedy Meadows where there was still some snow on the ground. We explored the area for a little while and left. If the road had not been closed we might have made a loop over to Kernville, but we will save that for another day.
