We spent four days together at Union Valley Reservoir. To our great delight everything about the trip and the campsites was better than we expected. For one thing - hardly any mosquitos! The Lake was very comfortable for swimming. Days were warm but not hot- unlike the "fires of hell" weather back in the Sacramento Valley and foothills.

The first kid project was the boats. The nail pounding resulted in no injuries. Painting produced some original colors and decorations.
We visited our old favorite, Wright's Lake, for a full day. Erin, Sara, Lee, Ali, Carissa, Derek, Grayson, Paige and Ben took a hike up the Twin Lakes Trail while Brett, Mireille and the boys canoed the narrows.
Kerry, Shanna, Susie and Caleb hiked to Enchanted Falls and the Loop Trail. Caleb loved getting into the water.
Life in camp
Each night we had campfire. Smores, painting projects and snacks rounded out the evenings.
