Loved Stumpy Meadows and Hell Hole area . Me and some highschool friends would take an aluminum boat to the east end, and camp next to the Rubicon river . Would usualy stay 5-7 days, and not see another sole . No trouble with lions then , they were legally hunted , but plenty of rattlers.
We might have crossed paths at some point, kenster99. Lots of stories about trout fishing the Hell Hole and the rattlers are no joke.
