Due to the Covid and lately because of forest fires and excessive smoke, this was the first time we got to camp at Jackson Meadows this year. May be the last time because my favorite site is all booked up thru the close in early October. (more…)
Our first trip this year. The year of Covid-19. We went to Lake Davis for the first time in about five years with Mike and Vicki, and all of our dogs. Its on a first come basis so we were truly blessed in finding such great sites in the middle loop of Grasshopper Flat CG. (more…)
This year for Kate’s birthday (Halloween), we went up to Fort Bragg and camped in MacKerritcher State Park for three nights. No dogs this time so we brought the jeep and bikes. (more…)
After Hole in the Rock, we went on to a boondocking site in the FishLake National forest. I got the idea for the first site in this national forest from vbloggers, Fate Unbound. (more…)
Our first stop in Utah was Bryce Canyon National Park. We found a boondocking site called George’s Gift on Dave’s Hollow forest service road, which is off route 63 that goes into the park. (more…)
Kate, I and the dogs ventured on a fall trip to Utah in early October, 2019. It was a two week trip and resulted in so many photos that I thought it best to break it up into five parts. (more…)
First campout at Jackson Meadows this year was last week in July for four nights with just me and Charlie. Heavy winter snow caused three of my reservations to be cancelled. (more…)
In Mid June, Ben, Charlie and I went to try out camping at Stampede lake. This is near Truckee and not as far to drive as Jackson Meadows but I had never camped here before. It is a huge campground with over 250 spaces. I was lucky to find one, site # 236 in the far west loop, and it was a gem. Nice path to the lake, decent spacing between campsites, level, near bathroom and water. I took the jeep and was able to check out some great 4wdr roads. Even got to the top of the Sierra ridge and could see all the way to Reno.
I was only there three nights and by thursday more people started coming in, became noisy. Best time is mid week or off season, after labor day. Here are some photos.
We set out on a two week trip on route 395 on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mtns in early May. Our destination was Lone Pine with a planned visit to Death Valley. (more…)
In mid March, we made our first motor home trip of 2019 to Bodega Bay. It was also our first venture using the tow system I installed to tow our 2018 Jeep Wrangler JKU behind us. I was amazed at how smooth and easy it all went. (more…)
