so...

last weekend we got out of town and went camping

headed up to lassen natioanl forest and natl. park

left friday evening and headed north

got t o chico..and discovered the hard way that someone had removed the route

signs..and of course we

had to turn

spent a good 45 minutes wandering around and around

finally took a guess where we were suppose t oturn, and lo and behold..it was

the right way!

drive on up thru the sierra...

lotsa deer

so..sometime around midnite we arrive in lassen nat. forest....

find a quick campsite and set up the tent in the dark...

collapse

wake up before the sun's up

nice little area

BUT PACKED

right on a creek...

and we weren't far from the main road

so, pack back up and head out...

go thru national forest...looking..looking..looking...

after much trial and error...find a nice campsite on the far side of the

national park

not a whole lot of people...unlike every other dang spot...and had a BIG

campsite...

got some nice hiking in..ok, hobbling for me

prolly took 6 hrs to hike 2 miles and back..(from our campsite to lost creek)

bone chlling creek...

funny that...at 8000'...snow EVERYWHERE still...drifts..helen lake was still

frozen over...

at 6000'..it was 90F

did a bit more hiking that evening

oh, and our campsite was over run with chipmunks and ground squirrels...

that evening, prolly had the BEST camping meal i've ever had...

WE had stuffed peppers (several varieties of peppers from the garden, stuffed

with ground soy, tofu, onions, garlic, zucchini, spices, and other veggies, and

covered in olive oil) and corn on the cob (also from the garden)

cooked the peppers in foil on the fire...they had basically sat over nite in

their own juices...they were AMAZING

 

then sat and watched the bats zoom all over...drinking our beer

 

sunday, had to head back...hit a few more areas in the park..then went thru a

lava tube cave..(didn't know rebecca was THAT afraid of the dark!)...

tried to stop at some brewpubs on the way back...but it was just too dang hot,

and we had the furkids with us...couldn't leave em in the car...

ened up in Sacramento at Rubicon Brewing, where they let you bring dogs out on

the fenced outside eating area ...

nuthin t oeat really(they had like a portabello sandwich and that was about it),

so we just enjoyed a few hefeweizens in th heat of the day, and then headed home

all in all a nice trip..and good t oget away

in two weeks..we head to the sierra foothills for another camping

trip.............
