    View from my tent. Not bad.



    My GF's 19-yo daughter, Tina, on her first camping trip. I give her props for taking on the challenge.

    Jason, others, if you need some guidance in the Gold Lake/Lakes Basin area, I'm about an hour away. I've been known to ride my KLR up there to scout snow conditions for backpacking. Not an expert up there, just camped there a few times in the CG and OHV CG last 20 years and backpacked in to Wades Lake, lookout etc.

    We also learned not to go 20MPH+ 4HI on an icy downhill road with a bend in the end.

    Nice area, used to do the Downieville area for 20+, downfall is there definitely seasonal due to fire restrictions.
    That area dont play around.

    Boy, the snow at the campsite did melt off pretty good, helped by your shoveling.
    Friends invited me to hike into Pyramid Peak via Wright's Lake road Thursday for a couple nights out. Guess setup camp first day after hiking in, bag the peak on Friday, beat the storm out on Saturday morning. I just hate driving around Tahoe coming in from the north, then down 50 any distance.
