Eagle Lake, California

September 6-7, 1997

 


 

I don't recall how we chose a campground that was so far away, but Booboo and his family and the four of us somehow ended up driving all the way to Eagle Lake in Lassen County for the weekend.

The fishing - we were told - was going to be great. But as is often the case, it  turned out that somehow this particular weekend was just a little bit early (or a little bit late) for the good catches. I think we came up empty. 

And then, there were the bees. We couldn't put any food out on the tables without attracting them and I think we all finally just decided to eat in our tents.

I also remember still being so sad about the death of Princess Diana. She had been killed the weekend before and I woke up very early Saturday morning to watch the funeral before we left for the lake.

It was one of those weekends that you're glad when it's over.
