| Alpenlite Site |
Our site is part of Calaveras Timber Trails, located near Calaveras Big Trees State Park in CA.

| TImber Trails Park |
We enjoy our time in the "screen room" gazebo adjacent
to the Alpenlite.
 |
| Welcome to our get-a-way in the mountains |
The forest is such a magical place--great for R & R...
 |
...and for family.
Nice to have our dear family together!

The sights were grand and the temp was a cool 53 degrees--perfect escape from the near 100 degree heat at the surface. |
| Happy Cavers Later that week, we drove east on Hwy 4 from our base camp near Avery... |
 |
| Happy times with Ma & Pa |
 |
| Doggies with their Peeps |
Took a side adventure south of Hwy 4, and discovered a beautiful mountain lake, nice Forest Service campground and day use area.
 |
| Spicer Meadow Reservoir |
Below the dam was a lovely meadow with Highland Creek meandering through it.

| Beautiful Highland Creek below Spicer Dam |

| Dam Bridge |
We searched the byway for the infamous WHALE ROCK.
 |
| Finally found it! |
Humans apparently have a thing for "decorating" nature...
 |
| See ya next time |
