Just a camping guy

Went to the same spot this weekend. This time we had a huge fireplace and I had to go hunting up some wood. Found the carnations up there. The tempature dropped down into the teens.

I went driving around and found that lookout cabin. It still had a bed frame in there and rock floors.

It is a place I am going to check out again. Well on to the pictures.































Thanks again for stopping by.

Well this weekend I went to the Tahoe National Forest again. This place is a few miles off of I-80 in Cisco Grove. Saw some snow on the ground from earlier in the week. I may have another week or two before the snow closes it up for the year. The signage isn't that great and trying to find those places at night is hard. We drove up to the cell phone tower on Thursday night. If it would have been less rocky probably would have camped there for the night.

On Friday morning two a-holes on quads were making quite a racket.I don't mind quads or dirt bikes as long as the people are safe and not tearing things up. You could hear these things a few miles away. They had drilled the mufflers out. I stepped out into the trail and stopped them. They were telling me that they had spark arrestors and were legal. Thinking on my feet like I usually do I told them that I was an Alameda County Sheriff and that the noise ordinance was 87db at 30 feet . I told them that I could call up the local sheriff or the ranger to bring up some sound equipment. I think I scared some sense into them because after that they got off the gas a 1/4 mile before and after camp. I just hope they replace the mufflers because noone should have to listen to that noise.

There was a ton of downed wood up there. I may have to invest in a chainsaw and a permit so I can fit the logs in the ring better.

Well on to the pictures.Enjoy.

Talbot Campground Week 2 10/15/06

I went to the same spot again this weekend. It is just a fantastic area. The colors are changing and I am hoping to get up there another time or two before the first snow.

The first few pictures are of a trout that I hope to have in my skillet next spring. We were just getting to know one another. Next spring I will post a picture of it in my skillet.

The next few are of the river. It is coming to the end of the season so the flow is way down.

I also have a new mascot now. Rescued him from another campground that had closed for the season. Also rescued some good rounds of wood as you will see me tending the fire in one of the pictures.

The next few pictures are of my truck. This is the first trip since I upgraded the rear end. I can really tell the difference. I still have some upgrades planned. While the Beast may never be a rock crawler it will get me to where I am going and back.

The last few pictures are of the surroundings. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
