You asked about the camping trip and honestly I completely forgot to text you back. Sorry about that.
The reservoir was fine, a little lower than last spring but still plenty of room to set up along the east side.
We hiked that trail behind the ranger station and the wildflowers were just starting to come up through the dry brush.
I took maybe forty photos of the same oak tree because the light kept shifting and I couldn't help myself.
At night it got cold enough that I zipped my sleeping bag all the way up, which never happens in June.
The coffee situation was a disaster though. Someone forgot the pour-over cone and we ended up boiling grounds in a pot like it was 1849.
Actually it wasn't terrible. Strong enough to wake the dead.
We saw a fox near the fire ring on the second night. It just watched us for a minute and then disappeared into the tree line like it had better places to be.
On the drive back we stopped at a roadside stand and bought a jar of honey from a guy who kept saying the word "unfiltered" like it was a magic spell.
Anyway, next time you should come. The trail is easy and the stars are worth the trip alone.
Let me know if you want the campsite coordinates or if you'd rather wait until fall when the leaves turn.
