Mini GTG: Plumas-Eureka State Park, Graeagle, CA

[monik7]

I just got back from a great mini GTG with Diana (mtngal) and her friend Mary from a group called Mother Lode Camping Women. They were gracious enough to invite me to join them at Plumas-Eureka SP which is in the northern Sierra Nevada north of I-80 and Lake Tahoe in California. I had never been in that area and it's spectacular. Last Monday we went on a hike to Grass Lake and it was quite a hike. I had both my dogs and some of the blocks of rock for steps were about 18" high which required lifting Krissi (16 1/2 yrs., deaf and almost blind) up and then myself. Mary is quite a woman for her age and has been hiking for quite a few years. It seemed like she just bounded her way up the mountain. The day after Mary left Diana and I took a drive around the Lakes Basin Recreation Area. It didn't disappoint.

really a beautiful area
I remember (sorta) a book that was depicted in the Sierra Nevada's in CA
think Donna Parker but not sure cause of that book I've always wanted to see those mountains
don't know if these are the mountains but sure look like I envisioned

Amy does wonderfully on the leash Sheila. I tried her on it for the first time at the Oregon GTG and she took to it immediately. I can't believe how well she's settled into RVing with the dogs and me. She did not throw up once this trip and much of the drive was on curvy mountain roads. Yay Amy!!

Looks like a nice place and not too far from me. Have to check it out. So glad Amy took to being a RV kitty. How nice to add to her life this adventure.

Great spot to visit - have to add it to my long list! Company was pretty nice, too! Amy just figured she was missing out if she didn't adapt!
