Do any of you have much experience with camping in the mountains? We like to boondock in State Park and Forest Service campgrounds, and inspite of the "first come..." gamble, we've been pretty lucky so far, especially if we arrive on a Wed. or Thurs.
One of our favorite things to do is take our tandem kayak out on a lake that doesn't have a lot of motor-boat activity. We also love the high Sierra-granite-Ponderosa Pine-Alpine wildflower and bird thing. Alpine Lake on Hwy 4 was a great find, and now we're looking for something similar. Has anyone been to Caples lake off 88? Any other recommendations? We're already looking at Wright's Lake (thanks Niel and Lynn) and would love any other "thumbs up."
Many thanks,
Janet
