What a beautiful trip, it looks like some great time outdoors! I've never gone up to Dobbs Camp, what a pretty area. It's shame he got retired by a lightning strike, surviving one can leave your health pretty fragile.
That forest is gorgeous out there isn't it? You can tell it's near the end of summer as there isn't much water in those creeks at this point. In spring they would be raging rivers! Glad you got to get out and enjoy the majesty of California's mountains!
