Wander 016 - North Shore Campground (Lake Almanor, CA)

September 25-29, 2014 - North Shore Campground, Lake Almanor, CA

Last year we loved our fishing trip with Dick and Nancy.  This year we wanted to do something similar.  We picked a spot on Lake Almanor and invited Dick and Nancy to join us.  Unfortunately, Dick's health prevented him from joining us.  But on the upside, my mom was able to come.  So it ended up being a Mom's weekend.

The other unfortunate surprise is that we learned that the water in Lake Almanor is used to bolster the state's low supply and so, by the time we got there, most of the lake had been drained and our "lake front" reservations were no longer "lake" "front".  (they were nice enough to lower the cost of the reservations accordingly).

But we still had an amazing trip.  Here's a glimpse of one of the beautiful sunsets:



We celebrated my mom's birthday while we were there.  Thankfully the power (which had been off all day) came on just an hour or so before the celebration:
