Brian has wanted to take his dad fishing for years. Now that we have a trailer he felt that it was time to make it happen. So he went online, researched the best places and times of years to fish. He settled on Trinity River and Lewiston Lake. He found an RV park that also had RV's for rent so that his folks would be comfortable (our trailer doesn't exactly have room for extra guests). We had a GREAT time. Not a single fish was caught, but good memories were made (As it turned out, we were about one week too early to catch any fish... oh well!). I hope we make it happen again someday.

Fishing on Lewiston Lake:
Funny memory: Even though Brian had bought fishing licenses before the trip, we couldn't find them once we arrived at the RV park. Apparently the rangers have no way of looking them up electronically so you're required to carry them with you at all times while fishing. There weren't any problems when we were fishing on the remote Trinity River locations... but not so much on Lewiston Lake. At one point Brian spotted the Ranger driving up... Brian and his dad hilariously packed up all the fishing gear at top speed and then proceeded to sit back in their chairs on the dock as though they had just been enjoying the view. The Ranger pulled into the parking lot, emptied some trash cans and left without even coming anywhere near the dock.
Nancy and I spent a day in Weaverville hunting down antiques
The RV park itself actually had a pretty nice collection of antiques:
Great group shot:
What a great trip!!! Special thanks to Nancy for all of the fabulous pictures she took on the trip!
