We went back to one of our favorite sites at New Melones Lake for a two night stay.
Site 43 at Acorn campground in Tuttletown has one of the best locations and...
views of the lake and bridge.
It was the weekend before Halloween and most of the campground was empty. Maybe folks stayed away because the spirits were already busy.
Between finding dead animal bones and...
a fire, the area seemed a wee bit creepy.
We did a google search to discover that this weekend was a schedule burn close to the fire-watch tower.
We had many wonderful views of the controlled burn while hiking the trail the second day. At one point one could see the huge flames of red and orange just along the ridge. By late afternoon the fire was put out by the fire helicopters.
Next day's hike was still creepy with this shrine of some type.
Regardless of creepy things, this is still one of our favorite places to hike and camp in cooler weather months.
