Camping
along Rock Creek Lake
in the Eastern
Sierras
Labor Day Weekend
Friday-Monday, September 1-4

Rock Creek flows down the eastern side
of the Sierra Nevada mountains into its namesake lake. Rock
Creek Lake is a very pretty high-mountain lake, about a quarter-mile
across and just below the tree line. The lake is surrounded by
high-elevation trees, with mountain ridges as a backdrop. The
main campground is on one side of the lake, with a single group site
on the opposite side...that's where we're booked. The group
campsite is in a pretty setting right on the shore of the lake.

We have our site booked to
arrive Friday, Sept. 1, and check out after breakfast on Monday,
Sept. 4. Our campsite has flush toilets and there are hot
showers nearby. This time of year the days are likely to
be sunny and in the 70s. The nights will be cool and the
moon will be approaching full. The drive will only take
about 4 1/2 hours, but because we're getting up into the High
Sierras, I hope this will be a nice adventure into nature.

As usual, kids beyond the crying
in the night stage are definitely welcome. There is a
rustic resort nearby which looks like it would be comfortable
for families with little ones. I can give you those
details if you'd like. To avoid possible nuisances in the
campsite, will you please make alternative plans for any
pets...thanks. Please let me know if you have any
questions about the weekend.
Each person will be asked to help provide one meal, and will be
served by the group for the rest of the meals on the trip,
Friday dinner through Monday breakfast. The cost of the
trip is $60 per person, which will cover the campsite fee, our
firewood, common supplies and all of the wine and beer for the
weekend. I'll close sign-ups on Saturday, August 19 in
order to give people time to plan their meal. As in
the past the trip fee is non-refundable if you decide later to
bail. |

Camping next to this
high mountain lake
and hiking in the area will be a scenic treat.
I hope you can join us! |
