After checking into Escapees Park of the Sierras we had a guide show us our site. Then he had us follow him to make sure we got parked with no problems. Quite an improvement over the mud we left behind at Woodson Bridge.
Mornings were quite frosty. Good thing I still had my casino club card to use as an ice scraper.
The park was beautiful and spacious. If I remember correctly there were more than a hundred acres and only 254 sites. That left a lot of common area with mature hardwoods and mossy rocks between owners. Usually, you could only see a handful of neighbors from any given site.
The rains had the creek flowing pretty well keeping us from exploring the "back forty" - forty acres that were left undeveloped.
There were a lot of Manzanita trees getting ready to bloom soon.
We joined a group of about 20 for a potluck dinner. It happened to be their monthly birthday celebration as well, so we finished our meal with cake. Since we were visiting we were required to take the microphone and introduce ourselves. You get to know a lot of people quickly at an SKP dinner. We found out Robin and Lynne, seated next to us, were on the site next to us - how's that for a coincidence? Howard, who turned out to be a Georgia Tech alum, brought a 26-year-old Port that he shared with the table. It was mighty tasty!
Being our first night, I was hesitant to take a lot of pictures of our fellow pot-luckers, but I caught a few of them when I snapped this picture of their tree.
