Wed. June 19, 2013 - Truckee trip

We left early this AM for a other two day camp host break. We stopped in Sac. to have a quick visit with Dad, then up to Auburn to visit with Mom while she had her lunch out in the lobby. Then we got lunch at Katrinas before taking off for Truckee.

We checked in to Donner Lake State Park
- first time we used it since out Alaskan adventure last summer.
and pitched our tent in the warm afternoon sun - first time we used it since out Alaskan adventure last summer.
 
 
 
Then we dove in to Truckee to hook up with Eric after he finished work for the day at the Tahoe Natl Forest Truckee district offices. Eric guided us around his "neighborhood" as we toured the area's campgrounds - we are looking for options for next summer - we would like to stay in the high country where it is cooler - and Truckee is pretty close to home to viist with mom and dad on our off days. We really liked the state park and also the Martis lake property run by the US army Corp of Engineers - just like New Hogan Lake. Both are good options.

We had dinner in Truckee at Casa Baeza
 
 
then said goodbye to Eric and went sleep in the now cold night at our campsite. No rain flap on the tent so we could see the moon and stars from inside out tent. Beautiful!
