Frenchman's Lake Camping & Lakes Basin Rec Area hike

Of ALL things to forget on a camping trip, MY CAMERA!?!?!?! Thankfully Sue brought her, unfortunately there'd be a LOT more pics of my pups if I had brought my own. Regardless, pictures tell a better story than me blabbing, let me just say CA is just flat gorgeous. Pictures below can be enlarged.

Road TRIP! They all got along fine. Gear is on the trailer.

Spot picked, Good dogs.... Stay! That's Lucy and Dude in front.

Stealth Swimmers

Todd, the pups and George

Wet all day!

They are pretty good trail dogs, they stay ahead, but not too far, and constantly come back. Next time I'm gonna strap a GPS to one of them, I bet they travel twice the distance.

One of the best pictures

Yes, that's snow! And it's not too far away!

See?!?!?!?!?!??!

That's all the pics I got, but it's making me want to go again SOON!

Camping in the Tahoe National Forest

We went spur of the moment camping this past weekend with our new friends Jed & Ayla and had a super great time. Having lots of things to still get done at home, we only went for one day & night, but now knowing what's there, we'll stay longer next time! Only an hour away, and right by the Yuba river. Jed has his own secret place which he discovered years ago, and it's perfect. Lots of woods, right be the river and just nice. Here's a shot of the camp spot:


Before that, we went to a jeep crawl, and it was pretty interesting. Lots of red-necks and whooping it up, testosterone was everywhere. And tattoos! Keystone didn't really seem to like the noise and climbed right up in the chair, his sanctuary I guess.

Oops.


Heave HO!


This is steps away from our camp. The river opens up to an Olympic size pool, that's T on the right, Ayla on the left.


Certainly no delay in getting in!
