Annual camping trip...

As the tragedy of the gulf coast seemed to worsen and worsen over the Labor Day Weekend, our annual camping trip with age-old friends was more than a welcome relief. We ventured off to Stampede Reservoir, a bit northeast of Truckee and north of Lake Tahoe. We expected a mob of campers, but were thrilled to discover that we had the waterfront near our group campsite to ourselves. It was peaceful - just the sort of escape from the world we all seemed to want. Photo album
