On Saturday Morning we volunteered to head up to the High Lakes to clean and repair trails. I was unsure of what I was getting myself involved in when agreeing to go to this but alas we headed out. Dad and Milton met up in a town just north of Stirling City (if you even know where Stirling City is??? I had not previous to this experience) and we started in on the road to the High Lakes.
Here is a picture of Milton and Karan standing in front of Spring Valley Lake. It was incredibly beautiful and I am thinking it would be a great place to camp. I am sure most of you have already been there but I had not and I think it's a great place. Very remote.
Here is just a small sampling of all the vehicles that were up there that day. We saw everything from Toyotas, Jeeps, Broncos, Trucks of every variety to these tube built vehicles that looked like something straight out of mad max.
Here is Dad's Bronco
Dad and Milton filling in a trail by Long Lake.
Dad showed us some ancient Maidu Indian petroglyphs. It was very fascinating and almost sad to think that in close to another generation these will be gone.
Here is one of the main reasons that I feel as though I was in a non stop car accident for 6 hours straight with no medical intervention afterwards.
My daring husband kept right up with Dad the whole way. I can tell you that Dad was very excited! I haven't ever seen him that happy and it was really good to see that.
