After my awesome Friday, flying in the morning, camping in the evening, we had to make Saturday every bit as good. But without the flying, Mrs. Flying Dutchman doesn’t like flying so much. Since it was forecast to be hot again we decided to drive higher up into the mountains. Our destination was only an hour away; Silver Lake. When we arrived we found a lovely 75 degree day rather than the 98 degrees it was forecast to be back at the trailer. We hiked along one of the roads along the shoreline and then moved to different section of the lake and did some rock hopping and took in the beautiful sights.
After spending several hours at the lake it was time to head back but not before swearing to come back after tourist season is over. Even the drive back down the mountain was beautiful.
Sunday Morning
On our last day we just hung around in bed for a while, had a leisurely breakfast, and then watched church on our phone. Afterwards we packed everything up, got the trailer ready to travel, and then drove back down the mountain to Modesto. It was a wonderful, relaxing weekend.
Haven’t been to Silver Lake yet. Sounds lovely.
Just drive WAY up Highway 88, almost all the way to Kirkwood. Beautiful place.
Scenery was beautiful and the weather was perfect there. Not as crowded as most lakes like Pinecrest.
