Emigrant Lake – Fall 07

Here’s a picture I took this spring…


And here’s from the same area this weekend. Although we go every fall, this is the lowest I’ve ever seen the lake.



The water should be up to the base of those trees.

The low water revealed fascinating old pieces of driftwood. What do you see in this one?

This is one of three Scamps that was at the campground this weekend, in addition to about ten more we saw on the road. There must have been a Scamp party going on somewhere. We even saw a Scamp fifth wheel!
Here we are. Thanks to the Scamp we were not the smallest trailer at the campground.

Sunset through the branches.
The next day we walked as far as we could before rocks blocked our way. When we walked back past the info board we noticed the big sign warning that cougars had been seen in the area! We probably wouldn’t have wandered so far if I’d seen that sign first!

This is a vineyard up on the hill overlooking the park. It’s so beautiful, it always makes us wish we could stay there.

Busted my window

We were working hard in the yard today, cleaning up around the house, cutting down brush and weeds, mowing, and I was using the gas powered trimmer around the house. I went all the way around and came back and thought I saw ice on the ground by my vintage Airstream trailer. Who would have dumped ice there? I walked over to look at it, then looked up – and discovered I had busted out the window of my trailer! I think the trimmer must have caught a piece of gravel and threw it there. Dang it, that’s a $200 window! I really wanted to kick myself.
