Sugar Pine Reservoir Campout 6/13

Sugar Pine Reservoir

In June, after the French Meadow campout, Kate and I did Sugar Pine Lake, Giant Gap campground for a weekend of camping.  This is only about 1.25 hour from our house and at the 4,000 foot level.  The lake was full with great swimming but crappy fishing.  Just got a couple bites when I tried fishing from our inflatable kayak.  Ben got a lot of swimming in as he would swim along while we paddled around the lake.  Biggs enjoyed the ride.  Click the first pic to nicely go thru them at big size.

Our site #22 right off the lake.
Ben loves to retrieve sticks. The water was so incredibly clear.
