Just closed my PUP yesterday after 4 months of camping (May though July plus the moth of September) at Old Lewiston Bridge Campground on the Trinity River at Lewiston, Ca. Set at the edge of both The Trinity Alps & Lewiston Lake I had a most wonderful time.
Among the high lights where.
Hiking up to Emerald Lake (a rise of 2,600' from trailhead) plus dozens of other hikes.
Watching a pair of Magnificent deer bucks in rut clashing their antlers in a battle royal for the affections of the watching does.
Many, Many kayak voyages on Lewiston Lake to fish, observe the incredible mix of waterfowl, otters, eagles (Osprey, Bald & Golden),Blue & Night Herons, beaver, water snakes etc.
Watching a Cougar take down a deer with efficacy unheard of in our government. Smile.
Several encounters with Black bears all ending peacefully.
White water Kayaking on the swift Trinity River
Hanging in Beautiful Historic Weaverville, especially Moma Llama's most excellent restaurant/coffee house plus Old Folks Prime Rib night at Marino's. Spaghetti at The Bears Breath Restaurant at Stuarts Fork.
Visits from my grandson for a real treat for both he & myself. City boy who so enjoys the wilderness experience, the nightly camp fires w/marshmallow roasts, the Fourth of Jul;y Celebration in Weaverville with parades, fireworks, BBQ, craft fairs, baseball etc.
A truly blessed 71'st Summer
