Cold December

 We went to one of our favorite winter camping spots on December 18th before kids came home to celebrate Christmas.


Acorn Campground at New Melones had only five sites occupied.  Everyone was spread out that it felt like one had the entire campground to themselves. We snagged our favorite spot to enjoy the views of Table Mountain and watch the bicyclist heading onto the trails. 


It was a cold night, low 30s. A hearty bowl of spicy Mexican corn soup help warm us up...



Along with Ms. Buddy Heater!


Meeks curled up into a ball, while we used quilts to keep our legs warm.


We slept under one sheet and five blankets; I made two of the quilts. 


We're ready to go back, but in warmer temperatures to check on the water level. The water was the lowest we have ever seen and this was after the first big storm we had the month before.
